A notorious overanalyser with a background in English literature. My work has appeared in the Strand Magazine, an award-winning student-run arts and culture magazine at King's College London, as well as some other online publications. I pick apart all things cultural and occasionally dabble in travel writing.

'In the world today, haute couture is one of the last repositories of the marvellous, and couturiers the last possessors of the wand of Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother,’ declared Christian Dior in 1957.

Tracing the presence of some of the prominent modernists in the unlikely rural setting they flocked in the early days of the twentieth century, Sussex Modernism: Retreat and Rebellion seeks to answer the question of what it was that drew some of the most prominent figures in modernism to the rolling hills and picturesque beaches of Sussex.
