SNAPSHOT
Artist/editor/photographer/writer
I work with words and images to create content that informs, engages and, if everything goes according to plan, inspires. My background is in the visual arts, but my path has diverged into urban geography, publishing and more recently infectious diseases.
BASE: ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
Photographs taken with digital cameras of varying capabilities

I have a Bachelor of Arts (First Class Honours) and a PhD from the Australian National University.
I lectured in photography for ten years working at the Australian National University, National Art School, Sydney College of the Arts and the University of Newcastle.
I’ve taken part in artists residencies in Paris, Sydney, Dordrecht, Fiskars and The Hague.

I’ve designed and built project websites for WHIG (UCL), UGovern, Parcour, Tuna Tasan-Kok (University of Amsterdam) and DIVERCITIES (Utrecht University).
