Research

I am a freelance researcher assistant for artist studios and a research associate at the Estate of Moki Cherry.
I conducted extensive research into the interdisciplinary artist Moki Cherry for my MA thesis A Biography of Tapestry: Home, Stage, Museum, 2018.

The Experimental Library

2017-2018: The Experimental Library was an interdisciplinary event and publication series of responses to artist’s work that took place at Cafe OTO, London. I collaborated with Seymour Wright
and Nicola Leong as the publication editors and event organisers. The Experimental Library publications are in the collections of Matt's Gallery, UCL Collections and Chelsea Art Library.
