I am interested in freeing up space between figuration and abstraction. The tension between recognising meaning while interrogating its very possibility has pushed me to the periphery of representation. My work explores the detritus of the photographic studio through playful sculptural interventions that question its role as a site for the construction of meaning. I am interested in how carefully destructive processes can reveal the hidden histories and expected lifespans inscribed into everyday objects. My current interests include photographic materiality, the architecture of the studio, immanence and emancipatory desublimation.

I am an artist and curator working between Florence and London. Recently curated shows include re:control, 2011 in Soho and upcoming show ristruttura, 2012 in Milan. 2007-10 BA (Hons) First-Class University of Westminster
