"Watching somebody is one thing. Watching somebody while they return my stare is quite another."

On Sunday 30th May the Writer's House will be open to the public throughout the day, with an open invitation for visitors to stop by and have their portrait written. Sitters are invited to reciprocate by spending their sitting writing a portrait of the writer. Between visitors, the writer will try to write reciprocally with the inanimate and animal inhabitants of Collier’s Wood, extending the authorship of the text to the object of writing.

Tamarin Norwood is an artist and writer living and working in London. She graduated from Oxford University in 2004 and Central Saint Martins in 2007 in Linguistics and Fine Art respectively, and is now in her second year of MFA Art Writing at Goldsmiths.

Her work has been exhibited in the UK, Europe and the US, and her artist’s book DO SOMETHING is published in December 2009. She is a founding member of antepress, with whom she regularly contributes to Resonance FM and is writer in residence at FormContent Gallery.

Tamarin's texts, videos, performances and objects consider the friction between visual art and writing, and between their production and their circulation. Against a background in language and translation, she applies textual strategies of multilingualism, translation and repetition to non-textual artifacts, creating quietened or 'flattened' works that draw attention to their own artifice.
