- Personal Website:
Introduction
My work as artist and curator broadly investigates ways language and narrative are used to make sense of the world around us, and how narratives in turn generate worlds of their own. Subjective personal readings and constructions of the world and ways that these might achieve social political and cultural expression are central concerns of my work, alongside a focus on the ways new technologies are both the subject and site of these emergent narratives.
Research Interests
The primary focus is on narratives and fictions in contemporary visual culture -both as an artist and curator - How they are used both to understand the world and model potentialities. The focus is on the subjective and the belief system as sites of opposition to hegemonic capital and commodity, and as a response to the discourses of modernity and enlightenment rationality.
