My first book, “Little Houses, Big Forests (desire is no light thing)” arrived to me today, fresh from the printer! I’m over the moon and back. Thank you so much, Repeater Books. It’s even more beautiful than I’d hoped. Details on the upcoming launches in London, Berlin and New York are coming soon.

At Mustarinda, Klaudia and Siouxzi are creating an aural-visual landscape for the multidisciplinary project ‘In the Dark, Dark Room’ (2017) which began with academic research at the ICI, evolved into the novel ‘Our Little Wooden House in the Forest’ and will soon be included as text and image extracts in ‘Little Houses, Big Forests (desire is no light thing)’, the anthology book to be published next year by Repeater Books.

Siouxzi and Klaudia will be happy to share the trailer for the project soon which will give a sense of the atmosphere and narrative. Follow them on https://uferlos.berlin or on Uferlos Studios for updates.

Currently on artist residency with sound artist Klaudia Domurat (Uferlos.berlin), in Mustarinda in the north of Finland, working on “In the dark, dark room” – aural/visual extracts from my novel “Our Little Wooden House in the Forest.” More soon.
Known as Siouxzi Mernagh from the years 2007 – 2016, I’m now reverting to my original name, Siouxzi Connor, for all purposes from here on in. I’ve also been away from the site for so long but am now happy to be back and posting! Changes are now in effect across Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram. Greetings from Finland.
An extract from my novel ‘Our Little Wooden House in the Forest’ was recently published in the artist publication titled ‘Should I have stayed home and thought of here?’, launched in Sydney April 2016.
Towards the end of 2015 and beginning of 2016, I had the pleasure of taking part in several events in Berlin and Sydney which involved readings from my book ‘Our Little Wooden House in the Forest’ and screenings from my aural-visual collaboration with Uferlos Studios.
Over the past few months I have begun an aural-visual-textual collaboration with creative collective Uferlos Studios, involving live and performed readings of my writing and video work based on the soundscapes and music of Klaudia Domurat.
