Images brim like an overfilled glass, begging you to take a sip.



Elida Silvey is a self-taught Mexican-American writer, editor and artist living in London. Her work explores the concept of language and memory as image-objects stored within the mind. She aims to establish these concrete forms through text to cut and collage them and form vignettes of time. By recording what is so often forgotten, she uncovers the entanglement between everyone and everything. 
 
She is currently a part of The Gobjaw Poetry Collective, writer for Hard of Hearing Magazine and is the assistant editor for Montez Press. She also runs her own open mic/visual showcase and crit-circle, Exteriors, out of Set Social Peckham.
