I’m the author of Counter-Texts: Language in Contemporary Art. I’ve taught writing, theory, and art history at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, the University of Victoria, the University of Alberta, and Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Canada. I have been a reviewer for frieze, Art Review, and i-D and published criticism in C Magazine, and fillip, amongst others. My poetry and creative nonfiction have won prizes from the Banff Centre for the Arts and Room. I hold a PhD from the Royal College of Art. Across genres, my work explores written language as a tool of power, oppression, and liberation, particularly as it is used in visual art.
