If you’ve not read any of my writing before, here are a few posts that might be a good place to start. These are a mix of the type of writing I like to do. I review exhibitions, books and cultural experiences. Sometimes my writing is focused in on one artwork, other posts are much broader, reflective pieces about art and society. I’m keen to try new formats and content too. If there’s something you’d like to see more of, then let me know.

My two-year-old nephew taught me how to look at art after lockdown – this piece was naively written in the summer of 2020 when I thought lockdowns were behind us. It’s all about learning to look at and appreciate the little things (5 minute read).
Layers of a life – this post focuses in on one artwork I have carried around in my head/heart for ages, ‘Dad’s Stick’, by John Smith. I first saw it at an exhibition curated by Cornelia Parker at the Foundling Museum (3 minute read).
