Writer, researcher and curator
As a writer, I explore the practice of 'reading' photographs across different vocabularies and formulations. My focus is on the image—networked, appropriated, fractured, and reassembled—examining its place in contemporary art and curatorial practices. My approach, 'writing alongside,' engages with what is present to be read and interpreted, traversing the field through text and responding to word-image relationships.
