- Ayacucho! Semana Santa!A concept-led publication, the handmade Ayacucho! Semana Santa! uses literary design conventions to guide the reader through photographic content. Paratext is fundamental, with the book employing a prologue to establish the Andean city’s genealogies and topology, while additional paratexts – a title page and page numbers – further support the reader. Physical guides – paper stock choice, paper folds and laser cuts – lead the reader through periods of disorientation, such as a bout of altitude si

Key images were curated in the opening two rooms of The Vault gallery. In the main space I designed a live, freeform mounting event that both explored experimental sequencing and communicated my wandering encounters with each subject.
- Athelstan's DreamCommissioned exhibition tracing the multicultural nature of England through a three-day engagement with some of the multitude of communities, faiths and genealogies in its capital city. While exhibition and picture titles evoked the romanticised old England, large-format prints curated in the historical formats of the diptych and the triptych counter-communicated a matter-of-fact modern, multicultural England.
