Patricia Mullin
Writer
‘My concerns in writing are perception (often flawed) and moral ambiguity, with ideas sourced and inspired through art, objects, nature, the half–remembered or the unwittingly disclosed. The starting point for my short fiction is invariably visual, juxtaposing the known past with an unsettling, unconscious incongruity.’
Patricia Mullin.
