My skills have been
developed through the ranks of local regional and small museums, which means I
have worked in almost all areas of institutional function, including
collections and display.
Most recently, I have privately funded work toward
exhibitions that have involved interpreting photographic collections; my
interest being in recontextualising the images through historical research and
display, in both gallery and museum settings.
