Inner Surfaces: Essays on Art and Culture

Inner Surfaces is an independent site for essays on art and culture.

My background is in secondary and sixth-form education, and I hold an MA in Renaissance Studies and a PhD on Renaissance Naples from Birkbeck College, London.

The project began with artists from central and southern Italy, especially those whose formation was connected with Naples. For now, its focus is chiefly art-historical, with close studies of individual works, artists, places and visual traditions. Over time, its range may broaden.

Inner Surfaces is intended for readers for whom art remains active, compelling and capable of exerting a lasting fascination.

I hope you enjoy exploring the essays on this site. Support for the project is warmly welcomed and helps keep this work freely available.
