The Silvertrace approach

Ideas develop and demand to be explored, pursued and presented.

I have curated and managed a broad range of arts-based projects, encompassing film, photography, the visual arts, performance and installation. These have been developed for clients requiring an artsworker or project management for community projects, or for personally motivated ideas.
