Artist Statement

Ideas and concerns within the work relate to the theme of transience, the articulation of language and the appearance of the everyday. The viewer is often encouraged to reflect, speculate, survey and regard the effects of time and light upon objects, situations and images. Within my practice I have a strong commitment to collaborative work. This usually takes the form of projects based in museums and galleries of contemporary art where the work is to construct meaning and to examine artists' practice as a form of communication. Many of the projects I have devised explore language and the relationship between verbal and non-verbal utterances, whether drawn, spoken or performed. I have taken my work as a freelance artist into galleries and museums including The Serpentine Gallery, Camden Art Centre, The Hayward Gallery, The Whitechapel Gallery, Café Gallery Projects London, The British Library and Turner Contemporary. I was employed by Tate Modern as an artist educator since it opened in 2000. Up until May 2019 I was engaged in programme development, delivering projects and undertaking research into artists' practice and gallery learning in my role as Curator for Public Programmes, Community. I have presented at a number of conferences in the UK on artist's practice and adult learning in museums.
