Currently I am the Collections Officer and Art Consultant for the Australian Government’s Artbank initiative in Western Australia, and a Board Member of the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art. I have worked as an editor for Tura New Music and am working on a history of that experimental music organisation to be published in 2023. Along with Melissa McGrath, I am one of the founders of Semaphore, a volunteer run publication about art from Western Australia.
When I was based in Melbourne, from 2005 to 2016, I worked with many arts organisations including Australia Council for the Arts (as an external researcher), Monash University Museum of Art, Creative Victoria, MPavilion, City of Melbourne, Next Wave, un Magazine, and Melbourne Fringe. Between 2019 and 2021, I was a founding Editor (with Jeremy Eaton) of Currents Journal, a peer review publication for early career researchers, and a collaboration between the University of Melbourne and the University of Western Australia. In 2017, I was a Team Leader and Supervisor of the Australian Pavilion at Venice Biennale. From 2016 until 2017, I was the Writer and Editor of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale based in Kerala, India where I wrote and edited the Biennale’s guide and catalogue. In 2016, I presented a series of radio plays for the Next Wave Festival, and was one of six artists taking part in the Biennale of Sydney’s experimental writing project, The Bureau of Writing. I was the 2014 London Arts Writers Resident at ACME Studios. From 2009 to 2013, I was Program Curator at West Space, and founding Editor (with Rowan McNaught) of their online publication the West Space Journal until 2015. I hold a BA (Honours) and MA from the University of Melbourne.
