Lost and found

“I need to get lost,” I scrawl in my Recoleta Cemetery notebook. As I allow myself to walk without an agenda, I find possibilities opening up – tombs appearing that I’ve never seen before and a sharpened awareness of the treasures they contain. That’s how I found this Serene Mary with angel, the winged companion emerging from what looked at first sight to be a plain dark vase.

    And you, too, Steffi. What a special comment – very grateful. Love that we got to go to Recoleta Cemetery together when you were here.

    About me

    I was born in Montreal in 1967, grew up in England and live between London and Buenos Aires. Like many, I came to Buenos Aires to dance tango and fell under the spell of this city where strangers talk to you, tango music seeps on to the streets and the ornate crumbling buildings speak of grander times. I love writing and crafting words – I've worked as a sub-editor for more than 20 years – and taking photographs.
