Oxford, England, United Kingdom
Oxford DPhil candidate, Writer, and Creative Director at the intersection of academia, contemporary art, and tech. I'm finishing a doctorate in English at the University of Oxford, researching how blank space in contemporary poetry expresses ideas that resist conventional language. At RevenueFlow, I'm Creative Director — I write for founders and finance executives, helping them find and articulate their intellectual position. Elsewhere: art criticism for Frieze and Art Monthly (Frieze New Writers Programme). Research Associate at Chatham House. TheVerseVerse, a poetry-as-visual-art platform (Lumen Prize shortlist; exhibited with PACE Gallery, Art Basel, Sotheby's). Previously published with Penguin Random House and the BBC.
Common Futures Conversations Associate at the Royal Institute of International Affairs
Digital platform where poem = work of art. Onboarding acclaimed writers to web 3.0 and celebrating the rise of crypto-native poetry. Exhibitions in London, Paris, NYC & collaborations with The Allen Ginsberg Estate. First sale of a poet by a living poet at Sotheby’s. AI art at Christie’s. My work with TVV underscores my commitment to exploring the transformative potential of human input in AI systems, and the importance of making a home for cutting edge creative and academic thought and practice within the tech sector.
My work has been published by Penguin Random House, Yoko Ono, Frieze, ArtMonthly, The BBC, The Quietus, Porridge, Creating Criticism, and others. I am a recipient of the Art Monthly & FVU Michael O’Pray Prize (2021), Repeller's NYC Writers Club Award (2020). Julian Barnes also awarded me the Isis Writing Prize (2019). As a member of the poetry collective TheVERSEverse, I was shortlisted for the LUMEN Prize for Art and Technology. I love putting people in touch with other people! I have facilitated roundtables, studio visits, and gallery talks with TATE, PACE, Lisson, Sprüth Magers, David Zwirner, and the Gagosian. My debut pamphlet, 'iPhone Notes 2021,' was published by If A Leaf Falls Press in 2022, appearing in the TLS feature 'Writing Types'.
