My interests as a curator sits with practitioners working in the field of time-based works including film and video, and performative art. Recent projects have taken the form of live sound art performance production, and an extensive study of the French artist Laure Prouvost. I am currently working alongside curator Tessa Jackson, developing an exhibition on Climate and Change in 2022 for a new gallery in West Somerset.
