Coming from a design background after having initially studied architecture, my curatorial interests lie in the relationships and crossovers between contemporary art, design and architecture. I view curating as multidisciplinary, but particularly a spatial practice, an open platform that provides an opportunity to remove jargon, and to engage rather than complicate. Over the past two years, I have developed a passion for site-specific commissions and interventions, with my dissertation having focused on two such artists of the 1960s and ’70s, Robert Smithson and Gordon Matta-Clark.


My curiosity in the fast-paced nature of the site-specific and temporal has continued while working as an Assistant Curator within Contemporary Programmes at the V&A, where I have been involved mainly in the commissions and event-based strands. This has included working on a variety of projects such as Magic Lantern (installation by Mat Collishaw for the Winter Commission 2010), V&A Friday Late (April and July 2011), Power of Making and Heatherwick Studio: Designing the Extraordinary. I have also project-managed Christmas Tree (installation by Studio Roso for the Winter Commission 2012) and will curate ‘Un-built’, an architecture-based Friday Late in June 2012.
