Through my previous work I have been looking at fringe archival practices and collecting, as well as the aspects of how fictional, archival and in some cases digital matter together can produce knowledge. I am interested in personal archives, non-intentional collections, digital non-institutional or institutional hoarding, knowledge systems/structures and different types of speculative and verbal artefacts.
Recently I have been closely working with my maternal grandparents on a number of projects around their relationship to digital, new media, photography, collecting and art.
