Tessa Berring, Creative Conversations
University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel, University of Glasgow, G12 8QQ
Tessa Berring’s ‘Joke Book’ was published at the start of this year with The Silent Academy.
She is also the author of Bitten Hair and Folded Purse (Blue Diode Press) ‘Putty’ (If a Leaf Falls Press) and ‘Cut Glass and No Flowers’ (Dancing Girl Press) She also works in visual art (she studied sculpture and drawing at Edinburgh College of Art), art writing, collaboration and translation. A collaboration with writer and artist Amy Todman is forthcoming from Jaws Journal in 2025. Her work is often concerned, or stems from, ‘feeling’ language as a makeshift and playful – though frequently uneasy – material, with which to build and unbuild personal worlds.
