Sally Kindberg and more notes for Stranger, a graphic work in progress
Early events were disturbing: gaslighting, mysterious letters, a bit of levitation, the occasional exorcism. And a missing father. Later, after happier times, when the person you trust the most says ‘I’m not who you think I am’, you start asking … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg and secret letters
Yesterday I went to see ‘Hidden Letters’ a film directed by Violet Du Feng about nushu, a secret calligraphic system invented and used by women in the nineteenth century (and probably even earlier) in rural China to communicate with and … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg attempts to sort her notebooks
Every so often I try and sort out some of my hundreds of notebooks, visual diaries mostly stored in glass fronted Globe Wernicke cabinets which open outwards from the top. This can be hazardous as occasionally I’ve been almost overwhelmed … Continue reading

Sally Kindberg gets nostalgic about travel
About twenty years ago I was commissioned by Discovery, Cathay Pacific’s inflight magazine to illustrate a journey round the Isle of Man, travelling with writer Ron McMillan who drove the car. I was supposedly the navigator of our trip, following the … Continue reading
