Scan Magazine
For the February 2022 issue of Scan Magazine, Deidre wrote an essay about the experience of writing a memoir at The Westfjords Residency, an artist retreat in the remote village of Þingeyri, Iceland.
“I pulled nightmares from my memories, transcripts and police records and turned them into beautiful, harrowing, immersive scenes, ones I previously never thought would see the light of day. Before, whenever I attempted to sculpt together a narrative, I was left inconsolable, retraumatised and unable to move forward. But here, in the remote Westfjords, I found peace.”
