Her talk will focus on how her curatorial projects are an extension of her evolving arts practice where the themes and strategies link in with the ongoing practice but simultaneously attempting to add an objective and critical perspective. Her work cannot exist without the involvement and participation of others where response and reciprocation is an integral part of the dialogue of the work.
