Forensics Of A Flat (And Other Stories) Gold I Promise To Swim the Channel (or the story of how I might) Instructions for Heartbreak Me, Myself and Miss GibbsForensics Of A Flat (And Other Stories)
Synopsis:
I live in a flat made of wooden walls, 70's carpet and doors that are locked from the other side. In the dark of the night, I listen to the building. It tells of finger prints on door handles, skins cells in the carpet, ghosts in the plumbing. A dissection of the history of a building and its surrounding area in the south of Birmingham. Francesca tells stories about her beloved flat, the area it stands in, what it used to be, what it will become and the people that have populated it. It's a bit stand up, a bit biography, a bit documentation, a love affair with a local area to the tune of bad Karaoke.

Top of PageI Promise To Swim the Channel (or the story of how I might)
Synopsis:
the sea makes my heart lurch like seeing an old lover, makes my stomach contract like meeting a new one. In order to be close to it, to really get to know it I have decided to swim the channel. Come September 2012. This is a swim demonstration of the facts that I find and the stories that scatter the channel between this country and France. Little bits of information and tips for preparation that I have begun to collect in this (very slow) process of readying myself for the swim. the beginning of the story.

Top of PageMe, Myself and Miss Gibbs
Synopsis:
In 2003, I bought a postcard in a shop in Totnes. Sent from Lincoln to London on July 15th, 1910 it is addressed to a Miss L Gibbs. the message on the back read: "Be Careful Tomorrow. A.C". Part detective noir, part lecture, part biography, this is the story of my investigation into the message on a postcard and my obsession with the life of the woman that received it. What happens when I start tracing a history that isn't my own? And why did Miss Gibbs have to be careful tomorrow?
