My practice is primarily curatorial, however, I maintain a low-key artistic practice. I also edit and write for various publications, recently initiated Beyond, regularly lecturing, leading professional development sessions and curating events and activities. I combine working in institutions with independent internationally to remain open and fresh. My interests range from responding to and creating narrative, questioning veracity and mendacity, playful secrets and subversion, creating structures and situations for debate and exchange, and collaborating with artists, writers and more, aiming to produce imaginative and intelligent exhibitions and events in gallery settings and offsite.
