About Me

Get to know me

I'm Kat, Absolute Chaos

Writer, poet, gamer, singer, parent - in whatever order I feel like at the time. For me, work and play are the same thing. I love what I do, and I give it everything I’ve got. My inspiration comes from music, art, the movies I watch, the games I play, everyday conversations, and all the little things I notice along the way. I like shiny things, interesting things, anything that makes me wonder or feel something deep or laugh out loud. I love collaborating with other artists, pushing boundaries, and asking questions. My work explores gender and sexuality, dystopian eco-writing, fantasy, trauma, and mental health.

I am a changeable human, a bit like a magpie after a new shiny, or a hyper little goldfish, or a sloth on the most leisurely of strolls. I can be the quiet human in the back or loud and proud in the centre of things. My mind likes the dark and the quiet but thrives in the challenging, difficult mess of things. I am a dripping with sarcasm, dark and twisty human, but I am empathetic and love to help people. I am passionately opinionated, but I listen quietly. I have been called a walking contradiction and Absolute Chaos. Whatever I am, I have learned to just be me and all the different sides of me are reflected in my work.
