Articles

I have been writing professionally for more than 20 years and passionate about art all my life.

My interest in art spans performance, video, painting, sculpture, sound to the undefinable. Issues of sex, gender, race, the colonial legacy and the climate emergency are a particular focus. I write across a wide range of topics for a variety of publications including The Guardian, The New York Times, Art Monthly, ARTnews and many more. Below is a selected archive of my articles with links to the full texts.
