As a curatorial worker, I consider ‘the curatorial’ as an experimental practice to develop newly formed relationships within museum and gallery spaces especially. These - often complex spaces - are culturally, socially and spatially significant that should be preserved and protected, whilst also requiring adaptation to the needs of a miscellaneous and ever-changing public. Despite the theorising of performing identities being a timely subject matter, complex and often contentious museum spaces fail to consider their own identity as performed or enacted within the contemporary moment… or fail to consider what their identity would even look like at all. 
I consider a process where being a curator is a collaborative process that shifts and represents a multitude of identities. Under this belief, I often refer to myself as a 'curatorial worker' rather than a (singular) curator; to reflect the historical, present and future identities that are engrossed into this type of practice but also the space symbiotically. My research interests include archive, spatial proximity, embodiment and architecture which tease out these complex yet critical questions if we are to consider how space is better emancipated generally- including much wider contexts outside the museum. I situate myself within these complex moments, to help understand the identities of certain spaces and how they are enacted, represented, or comprehended by others. 
I have studied Fine Art at UAL, Curating (Museum and Galleries) at Sotheby’s institute and most recently Curating Contemporary Art at Royal College of Art.
