Subject: Victorian poet Michael Field (the pseudonym of a collaborative writing partnership between two Victorian women, Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper)
Gareth Brookes is a Visiting Artist Research Fellow at Merton College Oxford. As a creator, Gareth's work is both experimentally original and deeply engaging, often using pyrography and embroidery as media rather than conventional pens and pencils. He will present his research on Michael Field in the form of graphic narrative. And if we're lucky, he will also talk about his latest book, a graphic adaptation of 'The Compleat Angler' by Izaak Walton
