This website comprises a selection of my non-fiction writing. I am at turns intrigued, troubled, and perplexed by the relationship of criticism to art, something which fits into my broader interest in how representations operate. My writing often works through these concerns by interrogating vision and trying to understand how bodies interact with space. I am currently Head of Library Services at Queen Elizabeth’s School. Previously, I taught at the Faculté des Lettres at Sorbonne Université.
