What motivates you to do what you do? Passion and a deep connection with the place I’m from. This is true of both my art practice and my curatorial work. My art explores the concept of “home” (which, for me, is so deeply entrenched in the wilds of West Penwith) and so the imagery comes just as much from my heart as it does from observation. And having gone to school in Hayle (and grown up in nearby St Erth) I’m committed to sharing its stories at the museum including its remarkable engineering accomplishments which, though small and geographically remote, saw the town achieve international renown in the 19th century. I’m also motivated by the dedication and enthusiasm of my museum peers; it’s a sector full of such genuine excitement for what we do.
