Curator for the depot_, a hybrid gallery and event space. Passionate about the emancipatory and educational aspects of the arts in all its forms and the successful results when focusing on collaboration and continuous dialogue.
I have been lucky to be involved with each step of exhibition-making at various galleries as well as coordinating larger projects for arts management consultants and hybrid spaces. My practice aims to make art more accessible, digestible and approachable for a wider audience whilst engaging in meaningful concepts about interconnectivity, collaboration and creativity. I enjoy all aspects of art and exhibition production and have carried projects through from start to finish, growing and adapting with each project and person I work with.
