Chronophobia is fiction embodied, through text and through material, refusing to exist neatly as either short story, art, curated collection or set design. There’s an irony in her resistance to easy taxonomy - unlike the artefacts and archives she feasts on to create her work, she’s difficult to put in a jar, label, place on a particular shelf among a particular group of peers, and retrieve when needed."
