Ms. Gibb has presented at conferences, workshops and gatherings such as Hypertext 2008 and enjoys the interconnections of artists in all forms of expression.

Artist Statement: Blueberries is a piece that I wrote shortly have spending over three months writing a new short story in hypertext every day. The form is one that I find so suitable to the open flow of narrative not only for the writer in the creative process but for the reader in choosing the paths that open up throughout the story. Blueberries is more than just the story of an artist putting together a show, as it brings the past confronting the present in her preparation and the hypertext form allows that interplay with time. I use Eastgate's Tinderbox software to write into because I find it so flexible and powerful to handle the needs and yet easy enough to use and translate into online presentation. I believe that the emergence of online literary journals opens the door to all forms of artistic expression that merges the senses into total involvement for the reader.
