Perspective in Visual Arts In the spring of 2023, I was honored to be part of the Tedx Vail Youth presentation on Perspective. “Perspective” has two definitions; one emotional and one is rules-based. Both the emotional viewpoint of art and the rules are covered in this short video. Learn my shortcut for applying the Golden Ratio to create perspective lines and focal points.

Issue 10 of 'Burlington Contemporary Journal' is now live and free to read. ⁠ It includes an artist commission by Catherine Yass and seven peer-reviewed articles presenting new academic research on contemporary art.

Theorising the Artist Interview edited by Lucia Farinati, Jennifer Thatcher is now available for pre-order! I am pleased to have contributed to this anthology that seeks to promote an approach to art history that dismantles traditional hierarchies in favour of valuing dialogue and collaboration. My chapter, "Interview as Action/Archive: The Role of Televised Reportage in Contemporary Visual Art in the Turkish Cypriot Community," explores how artists have publicly presented themselves through interviews in art journalism and televised programs dedicated to art. My chapter is the first art historical study to focus on the emergence of the artist interview within the Turkish Cypriot community. The significance of these interviews, particularly in this case study, lies in their role as some of the few available sources documenting artistic practices in the absence of other institutional repositories of historical materials.

Here is the video of my demo from yesterday for China Academy of Art nicely edited by one of the students. (Thank you Henry!) Hope you enjoy my process.
