About Sari...
While I was living and teaching in the city I dreamt of returning to the country and finding time to write. Now I have actually been living in the country full-time and making some time to write I can hardly believe my luck. I have published three short stories in Five Mile Press anthologies and like many other writers have several waiting in the bottom drawer to be finished. Meanwhile, I have immersed myself more and more in reading and writing poetry, writing the blog has taken over from keeping a journal and the actual book I used for a hand written journal has become more of a scrapbook for memories, dreams, epiphanies of all sorts and ideas for possible future blogs.
The edge of the Edge Collective refers to our (myself, Susan Fell-McLean and Peter Ward) geographical location which is the source of our inspiration and our penchant for approaching art from the edges of convention - beyond words, textiles and photographic images. Our edge is absolutely essential to our individual and collaborative creative endeavours. The Edge Collective also sustains my need for sharing and exploring the elusive and ever-changing, challenging fascination that is the ‘landscape’ we are always striving to define and to reimagine.
Other important elements in my life are Bernard, our family - once described by my daughter as Baroque – the dogs, The Black Range. That friends matter I hope goes without saying, and I’ll get into trouble if I talk about priorities.
