Reading is a huge part of Shannon's practice; amongst other influences, a favourite that she often returns to are the writings of feminist scholar bell hooks.
Shannon likes to burn incense such as Palo Santo in her studio. However, working in a studio complex shared by others, this can become a bit difficult!
Shannon's studio complex is located right on the canal – from here she has the opportunity to sit by the water and listen to the fans cheer during West Ham matches.
