At present my curatorial research focuses on the work of the artist as curator. I am interested in the guiding principles, ethics and particular ways of operating that the artist as curator uses when initiating creative and productive dialogue with fellow practitioners. I am interested in looking within and beyond the work that I am currently engaged in – the area of public art commissioning – and examining the different ways in which one can enter into dialogue with artists. My research into this specific area will aim to examine if these contemporary curatorial practices stem from particular global models and will assess the origins of these ways of working. Along with examining the work of the artist as curator my research interests also encompass contemporary art in everyday settings, gardening and art and rural arts.
