Rhiannon Flemming

Writer and illustrator, with a background in Modern British and Contemporary art and curating. I have a practical understanding of exhibition management and design, which I use as a foundation for writing, research and reviews. In my writing, I like to explore history and cultural through objects, using one item, incident, or event to extrapolate a wider understanding or network of ideas. Writing can be used to describe, illuminate or obscure; I experiment with all of these elements in both my visual and written practice. Working in sound and radio production are also interests which I've explored in my coursework and in my final project. Archive research is a task I particularly enjoy, and I have practical experience managing artists' archives for analysis, valuation, and further research. This type of research – particularly regarding artist and gallery archives – is something I hope to continue in the future.

While my background is in art and design, my attention often strays towards science, technology and science fiction. I investigated Canadian, feminist, fanzine-critic Susan Joan Wood for the project Archaeologies of Criticism; discussed the change from physical financial trading sites to online platforms in the publication Ends Meet: Essays on Exchange (2014); while my final project traces the history and cultural impact of the meteorite.
