Currently shooting and writing in Finland
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.
writer/artist name change
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.

Publication of novel extract
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.
Readings, Screenings + Events
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.
Now collaborating with Uferlos.berlin 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.

Confused? Lost? […] If you don’t know where you are, can you know who you are? Just tumult everywhere endlessly, tumult modulating into another tumult all over and without end. The change is so constant so pervasive so relentless, that identity, place, scale – all measure lessen, weaken, eventually disappear.
