My essay ‘Creating a Canoe’, about K’ómoks First Nation members Sean Frank and Trevor Hardy’s carving and painting of a new canoe for the community, was published in the Summer 2022, Volume 30 edition of the CV Collective magazine.
Earlier this year I was incredibly excited to learn of a new magazine, The Cleaver Quarterly, to be dedicated entirely to Chinese food. Having devoured the beautiful first edition, I approached the editors Lily, Jonathan and Iain, with an idea that has been rolling around in a head for many years – an exploration of that great British institution, the Chinese takeaway. To my delight, Team Cleaver said yes! My finished article and photographs appear in the second issue, which has just been published.
You can read my article here, and buy the whole magazine plus past and future editions here.
Many, many thanks to my wonderful interviewees, Junkit Lau of JK’s in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, and Nayla Truong of Dan’s Island, Clapton, east London.
