Sprites of Svenshögen
~ a residency zine ~

A brief and beautiful sojourn through a Swedish village in the company of fae creatures made of leaves, rubble, and bottle tops.

A semi-fictional account of a creative residency in an old train station, nestled in the edgelands, by a lake, a forest, and a malevolent wind turbine.

A charitable pamphlet of photography and oddities in aid of Médecins Sans Frontières - pay what you like, help me raise a few quid.

"a lake in sweden. winter. the cold season is here but it is not unbearable yet. the resident has arrived and the station has claimed him. it is a tomb of a place, heavy and wide, with the scars of its past lives on its facades."
