I write regular book reviews for the i paper, articles and exhibition reviews for arts and culture platform WhyNow, news and lifestyle for Grazia online, and ad-hoc commissions for various publications and organisations. Other ongoing projects include gallery management for Ed Cross Fine Art, editing for publisher CentreCentre and copy/branding work with design agency Naked On The Piano. Artist interviews (video and written) include Martin Parr and other Magnum photographers for Plinth, Polly Apfelbaum for Apollo Magazine, and profiles of Abe Odedina and Christo for Harper’s Bazaar. Other commissions have included exhibition texts for Gallery of Everything, catalogue essays for the Korean Cultural Centre and Yva Jung, as well as numerous features for CCQ Magazine to which I contributed regularly until November 2018.
