Communicate with me directly.

How I use your information
I use this information to:
Respond to enquiries.
Send requested news about releases and exhibitions.
Operate, secure and improve the website.

Squarespace, analytics and cookies
This website is hosted by Squarespace, which processes visitor information to operate, protect and improve its services.
Squarespace uses necessary cookies to provide essential website functions. It may also use analytics and performance cookies to help me understand site traffic and activity. Information collected for analytics may include your browser, network, device, IP address, pages visited, clicks and timestamps.

How information is shared
I do not sell or rent your personal information.
Information may be processed by Squarespace as the website-hosting, analytics, contact-form and mailing-list provider. I may also disclose information if reasonably necessary to comply with the law, protect legal rights or address fraud, security or technical issues.
The website does not currently process online purchases or payments, and no print-fulfilment provider currently receives customer information. This policy will be updated before online sales or third-party fulfilment are introduced.
How long information is retained
Contact enquiries are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain appropriate business records or meet legal obligations.
Mailing-list information is retained until you unsubscribe or ask for it to be removed. Information processed by Squarespace is retained according to Squarespace’s own policies and service requirements.
Your choices and rights
You may contact me to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information I hold about you. Depending on where you live, additional privacy rights may apply.
You may withdraw your mailing-list consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in an email or contacting me directly.
Security
I take reasonable steps to protect the limited personal information collected through this website. The site uses Squarespace hosting and SSL encryption. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
