As an independent curator with a focus on experimental practices across human endeavour, I have explored several questions I’ve had as an individual by finding answers in creating frameworks of inter-disciplinary artistic research and production. I’ve also been actively involved in public space projects and have been researching and developing sub-cultural practices to explore the relationship between art and culture. Most of my work is based in spontaneous creation and expression and usually involves fusing new people to create unknown situations and engineering new collective imaginations of beauty and its future.

With diversified, almost schizophrenic, interests, my projects are usually designed as long-term impact programs but even then, most of them have come to meet each other. The value of the ‘experience’ is the corpus of my life and through all my attempts, this objective remains sacrosanct for myself, the artists I work with and the audience.
