I am gaining new knowledge and insights into the dual climate and our ecological emergencies to inform my curation. Much of this new enquiry led directly into my curatorial approach for Earth Spells: Witches of the Anthropocene in 2023 and Dartmoor: A Radical Landscape from October 2024 to February 2025 both RAMM exhibitions. I am continuing this enquiry into my current project ‘Living Labyrinths: Art and Fungi’ which will be an exhibition in Exeter from 3 October 2026.
I use Instagram as my most contemporaneous response to research. I very occasionally share events, conferences, reading and links to my research here.
