Selected Writing
I enjoy writing across a range of styles, formats and topics. Areas of particular interest include how design, architecture and technology intersect with ecology and the climate crisis; making and manufacturing processes; politics and policies that shape archives and institutional collections; curatorial narratives of exhibitions; and how language is created and shaped.
