Staying a little quiet while I figure this thing out. Same name from over on the twitmachine. Also on the picture app and other places. I post about #art and #writing, mostly. I wrote a book some readers enjoyed, about writing and broadcasting about art as my marriage was falling apart… #artcritic

Back of my book, Negative Space, with words of praise from Irish writers Kevin Barry, Sara Baume, Edel Coffey, Doireann Ní Ghríofa and Louise O’Neill, the most lyrical of which reads: “Press your ear to this book, and you will hear the tumultuous soundscape of a life, in all its joys and sorrows and wonderings.” (Doireann Ní Ghríofa)
List of quotes reviews about my book Negative Space, including The Irish Times: immediate and wholly convincing, The Sunday Independent: a refreshed perspective on what it means to be free.
Photo of me, Cristín Leach, standing and reading from an essay I wrote about recent flood paintings by Irish artist Bernadette Kiely in the Lavit Gallery in Cork City. I’m smiling at my own words.
