I write in two distinct modes.

The first is Rewind Revue, a series of reflective responses to performances, exhibitions, places and screen work, written after the initial moment has passed. These pieces favour attention over verdict and are interested in what lingers, how access and context shape experience, and why distance can clarify meaning.

Alongside this, I also write reviews when timeliness matters. These are clearly labelled, time bound responses to current work, written to orient readers and assess how a piece functions in the moment. Keeping these modes separate matters to me. They ask different questions and serve different readers.

I’m particularly drawn to work that deals with identity, isolation, community and communication, and to spaces that quietly reveal who they are built for and who they leave behind. Where relevant, I’m explicit about the conditions of viewing, whether something was seen live or recorded, alone or among others, crowded or quiet. That positioning is part of the criticism.

I’m open about my own mental health because it shapes how I move through the world and how I experience culture. I don’t write to universalise that experience, but to acknowledge it, and to make room for readers who may recognise something of themselves in the margins.

This site is both a portfolio and an ongoing body of work. It’s a place for thoughtful cultural journalism, slow criticism and careful looking.

Alongside my journalism, I also maintain a section titled Being Bipolar. These are first person pieces about living with bipolar disorder, written with distance and intention rather than urgency. They sit separately from my cultural writing and are not advice, commentary or reporting, but reflective work that acknowledges lived experience without asking it to stand in for anyone else’s.
