Lorna Collins creëert verhalen die een breed scala aan genres bestrijken, van historische memoires en gezellige mysteries tot romantische anthologieën en fantasyromans. Vaak in samenwerking met haar man, verkent ze thema's als liefde, mysterie en menselijke verbinding, waarbij ze ingewikkelde plots weeft met onderscheidende personages. Haar werk duikt regelmatig in de complexiteit van relaties en de geheimen die onder de oppervlakte liggen, zowel in historische periodes als in hedendaagse tijden. Het schrijven van Collins biedt lezers boeiende verhalen die elementen van spanning, romantiek en aangrijpende observatie combineren.

This volume of texts and images has evolved from papers given at the inaugural Making Sense colloquium, which was held at the University of Cambridge in September 2009. The chapters collected here reflect the multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary sense made at this event, which became something of an artistic installation in itself. The essay ‘Making Sense’ by Jean-Luc Nancy provided the grand finale for the colloquium and is also the culmination of the volume. The collection also includes articles that expound and critique Nancean theory, as well as those that provide challenging manifestos or question the divide between artist and artisan. The volume contrasts works that use texts to make sense of the world with performance pieces that question the sense of theory and seek to make sense through craft, plastic art or painting. By juxtaposing works of pure theory with pieces that incorporate poetry, prose and performance, the book presents the reader with a distillation of the creative act.
