I am an artist and exhibition curator whose career has been built on collaborations with collection-holding institutions such as the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford and heritage sites as diverse as the Halwylska Palace in Stockholm and the walled village of Kat Hing Wai in Hong Kong. My Divers Memories project combines practice-led research with scholarly publications that address the interface between contemporary fine art practice and museum display. I have a particular interest in museological claims about the construction of knowledge through collecting and exhibiting objects and, in recent years, my focus has been on the issue of meaningful display in art school doctoral degrees, especially those associated with arts and health research.
