I am an artist and historian of early photography. In my practice I move across photography, writing and creative archival research processes to work cross-historically, re-touching the archive, to recover and repair marginalised histories. In 2024 I completed my practice-led PhD project at Royal College of Art, where I researched the role of gender and class in early Scottish photography. In 2024/2025 I undertook my postdoctoral studies in the USA. I was the Fedwa Malti-Douglas Fellow at the American Philosophical Society’s Library & Museum (Philadelphia). I also received the Peter E. Palmquist Memorial Fund for Historical Photographic Research where I worked at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University. I was also the 2025/26 Otlet Fellow at the Science History Institute, also in Philadelphia. In 2025/26 I was a research fellow at The University of Glasgow Library. I am currently a 2025/26 Research Fellow at the Consortium for History of Science, Technology and Medicine. I am working towards my first book on gender class and photographic invention in Scotland.
