I’m an independent writer and editor predominantly covering contemporary art and culture. I am particularly interested in work that engages with ecological concerns. I’m represented by Zoe Ross at United Agents.
My books include:
~ Walking: Documents of Contemporary Art (Whitechapel Gallery and The MIT Press, 2024)
~ To an island in a loch on an island in a loch, with Kirsty Badenoch (Mouldy Books, 2023)
~ Iman Tajik: Welcome to Portobello (Art Walk Projects, 2022).
~ The White Birch: a Russian Reflection (Little, Brown, 2021)
~ Meadow Arts: the first 20 years (Meadow Arts, 2021)
~ Signal Failure: London to Birmingham, HS2 on Foot (Influx Press, 2017).
My writing has been published in magazines, newspapers and websites like Apollo, Art Monthly, ArtReview, Country Walking, Cricinfo, Finnish Architectural Review, e-flux, The Financial Times, Frieze, The Guardian, The Independent, Monocle, New Scientist and The World of Interiors.
I frequently contribute to exhibition publications for museums and galleries including: Arts Territory, Cample Line, The Common Guild, Cooke Latham Gallery, Karsten Schubert, Sir John Soane’s Museum, Talbot Rice Gallery and University College London.
I have extensive experience as an editor, and I currently work closely with organisations such as Art Walk Projects and Connecting Threads to commission writers and edit publications to supplement their creative programming. I have held full-time editing jobs at various publications. From 2013 to 2023, I edited The Learned Pig, an online magazine of art and the nonhuman. In 2023, I co-founded, with Crystal Bennes, The Penitent Review.
I also have significant experience helping cultural organisations with other aspects of content and communications. Past and present clients include Agenda Communications, Art Walk Projects, Connecting Threads, Frame Finland, Glasgow International, Historic Environment Scotland, Meadow Arts, the Royal Academy of Arts, and Siobhan Davies Dance.
