I am an artist and curator based in Birmingham, working across installation, painting, and conceptual practices. Alongside my own work, I run The Wrong Gallery in Moseley, an independent, artist-led immersive space that operates outside conventional commercial models and focuses on experimentation, dialogue, and access.

The gallery supports emerging and established artists through exhibitions that privilege process, risk, and alternative ways of presenting work. Extending this ethos, I initiated The Flank, a seasonal, weather-dependent platform that hosts one-day, open-format exhibitions in a garden and veranda setting. The Flank removes financial and institutional barriers by offering artists a free, non-transactional space to show work in a direct and immediate way.

My curatorial approach centres on creating conditions for encounter rather than control, foregrounding autonomy, informality, and collective presence over fixed outcomes. Through both The Wrong Gallery and The Flank, I am interested in how exhibitions can function as evolving gestures rather than static events.
