About

Fury is a writer based in Australia. They reside predominantly on the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung Nation.

In 2016 they were awarded one of the Wheeler Centre’s Hot Desk Fellowships to work on a narrative suite of gothic poetry examining trauma, queerness and girlhood set in an all-girl school. They were also offered a place in the Besen Writers Workshop at the Malthouse Theatre.

In 2017 they travelled to the U.S. to interview lesbian carers of the men who died of AIDS in the 80s, courtesy of the Kat Muscat Fellowship. In 2019 they used a City of Melbourne grant to make and launch their first book, an experimental graphic novel memoir called I Don’t Understand How Emotions Work. Towards the end of 2019 they completed a fine art residency with Arts Access and No Vacancy Gallery called Sitting. They were also offered a place on one of the Arts House Makeshift workshops as well as the Time_Place_Space residency.

They have ADHD, if you haven’t picked that up from the web of artforms they cultivate. They have Autism, too, or so their Autistic friends tell them.

In 2019 they were offered one of the Film Victoria Neighbours placements where they tried in vain to make all the characters queer. They since co-wrote episode eight of Crazy Fun Park, which won some sort of silver clitoris at the 2023 Logies.

They dream of making Westerns, though. The chaps, the gunslinging; two men kissing in the dust.

2021 they were awarded a City of Maribyrnong grant to make a satirical interactive fiction about finding toilet paper at the end of the world. It is called Bog Roll Quest. Needless to say, it was a COVID-related grant.

They are currently developing a webseries called Interviews with Ana Maria Gomides and Ruby-Rose Pivet-Marsh. It is about how to be in the world when you’re not really a people person*.

*Also known as “undiagnosed autistic”.
