Applications, 2016.
Ribbons on Clams, 2016 (1 of 3)
[Acrylic, Reverse Vinyl Graphic Print, LED. 500x500mm]
These 3 works have been created through an application on my phone, allowing arbitrary and impulsive design choices to be formally represented. Ubiquitous features found in applications allow a myriad of contrasting design preferences that currently over-saturate social media and infiltrate ways in which we view online imagery.
Photos previously taken and stored on my phone, or freshly photographed images are combined, which in turn creates a digital narrative captured by myself as the user. This also allows a protagonist role to be present within the work. Apps used to create compositions are chosen, at random, from my tool- box of design applications. This aspect further represents the personal and global immediacy in technology that we have insistently become reliant on.
Investigation into iphone applications as alternative art making tools, material utilization and translations of digital compositions becoming physical objects are three prevalent areas of research informing this final installation.
Currently in Chartwell Trust, Auckland Art Gallery, Toi o Tamaki, New Zealand.

for artists, galleries, and cultural institutions
I work with artists, galleries, museums, and cultural organizations to shape the way their work is presented, understood, and communicated. Drawing on a background in arts journalism, curatorial practice, and publishing, I provide writing, editorial, and communications support tailored to the contemporary arts sector. From press releases and exhibition texts to ghostwriting, media materials, and strategic communications, I help clients develop language that is clear, persuasive, and aligned with their broader goals. My experience across publications, artist studios, galleries, museums, and international art fairs has given me a practical understanding of how cultural projects gain visibility, build momentum, and reach new audiences.
