Sally Kindberg and a glimpse of childhood
A glimpse of childhood, originally part of Stranger, a work-in-progress but quite possibly in another form or even another story. Struwwelpeter was a big early influence. And the Grimm Brothers.
Sally Kindberg, Nottingham Castle and a work in progress again
Nottingham Castle often features in my stories. When a small child, I often had to stay in my grandmother’s house, one of whose cellars had a bricked up door, apparently leading to a network of tunnels honeycombing the nearby castle … Continue reading

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 in Nottingham Castle tunnels
Last weekend I revisited Nottingham, where I grew up after we moved there from Devon, where I was born. Nottingham Castle is built on the top of a steep sandstone rock honeycombed with ancient tunnels and caves. I’d always wanted … Continue reading

Pages from a few of my many notebooks in the last year. I use my notebooks as a visual diary, a nursery for new ideas or notes for work in progress.

Sally Kindberg’s notes about her childhood in Nottingham
This seems to be a recurring theme (far too often?) in notes for my graphic mystery/memoir. From the age of three I occasionally stayed at my grandmother’s house in Nottingham, periods coinciding with my mother disappearing, then turning up with … Continue reading
Sally Kindberg’s work in progress/identity
These are name tapes I had made for my mother when she was in her 90s and living in a nursing home. Apart from being shocked when she attempted (three or four times) to strangle me – I tried not … 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’s work in progress, a comic strip mystery/memoir
When I was very small I visited Sweden with my mother and my much older sister. During our visit we went to Skansen, a folk museum. For years afterwards, my mother denied we’d ever been to Sweden, despite letters (and … Continue reading
Sally Kindberg’s work in progress
How do we make sense of the world when those we trust the most make us doubt what we experience ? Mystery/memoir in comic strip form, about secret identities, shifting borders, and gaslighting. More to follow …
