About me
Planning, editing, writing, publicity, supervision, copywriting, exhibition production, and more.
Twenty 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 takes an unobvious situation, makes it legible, and increases the pleasure people take in it.
