ormulum
hello and welcome to my website!
here is where i keep all my art, games and writing, plus thoughts about the things i’ve played, read and watched.
the ormulum is a twelfth century biblical exegesis created by someone who was named orm. the work was written on low quality parchment, in a dense and untidy hand, filled with corrections and marginalia. it’s the archetypal kind of work i find myself making: incomplete, messy, but hopefully interesting. strange ruins.
think of this site as an untidy garden. click the links in the sidebar to explore it from several entrances (they sometimes interconnect), or click the keywords to warp around this page:

updates
2024.12.26
spending some very lazy days hiding from the heat and tidying up a few more things.
in the reading list, tove jannson’s notes from an island, which may be my favourite book this year.
in the writing pit, an interlude on salvage, on ex-library books and my knitted, stuffed cats and where they’ll all end up.
also down in there, powerline walking, descriptions of transmission lines and the things growing beneath them.
by my reckoning it is properly summer now, so all the old spring updates have been swept into the archive. things i would like to do in the new year. a blog. add things more consistently to the reading list. keep up with the muse ariadne prompts. create shrines and digital kiosks for things i really, really love. finish some long essays and stories.
