I am interested in the expressive relation between photography and other lens-based media and the technological eccentricities that arise from it. I am also intrigued by the connections between late conceptual art and current artistic practice and the aesthetics of globalization. Recent projects include: The Space Beyond Silence (New York, Medianoche, Spring 2005), Lars Tunbjörk (Liverpool, Open Eye Gallery, Winter 2007), Out of Body (Liverpool, Open Eye Gallery, Winter 2008), Anne Collier (Liverpool, Open Eye Gallery, Spring 2008), Nancy Davenport (Liverpool, Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art, 2008), Still Cinema (Liverpool, Open Eye Gallery, 2007-2008).
