Find where a culture comes from, go to it, look into it, turn it into a form, and make it exist in the world.
About me
Planning, editing, writing, publicity, supervision, copywriting, exhibition production, and more.
Nearly 20 years in publishing and project work across art, music, design, technology and culture, where I have made a great many things. My speciality is giving structure to fields that have not yet been systematised.
Internet culture, bass music, pixel art, ambient labels — I go to where these under-surveyed fields actually happen, research them, connect them, and bring them into the world in whatever form fits, online or off.
I believe in value that lasts, rather than short-term trends and connections. I am looking for work that lets me get swept up in an unobvious situation, go with the flow, and then turn it into media that makes it legible and increases the pleasure people take in it.
