Curating has a complex history; its formation from the Great Exhibition to now holds a discriminative shadow over the sector which still largely presents a singular narrative steered from collections, that are not to question in how they came to be. For me curating is the complete opposite, it’s about bringing together all members of the community, sharing knowledge and experience. I subscribe to the notion of facilitator, disruptor, and most importantly, listener.   

Edward Soja defines spatial justice as, 'an intentional and focused emphasis on the spatial or geographical aspects of justice or injustice', and 'the fair and equitable distribution in space of socially valued resources and the opportunities to use them'. For me spatial injustices can be discussed through bodies, the human phenomenology but also from the object perspective.

Design is everywhere; from the device you are reading this from to the colour of the vehicle you commute in.  My background in design massively influences my thinking not only through making but the Multimodal approach. Looking at objects to understand and question our behaviours and habitat, to respond in creative solutions to contemporary societal challenges.  

Learning is an everyday practice. Within a teaching environment I adopt design thinking by looking at systems and encouraging students to become provocateurs who use their discipline, crafts, graphics to voice their beliefs and question the norm. Offering alternative ways to learning. Harnessing a student led learning environment this can defiantly be seen in the student led shows.
