biography
As an academic, researcher and artist with over 25 years experience I believe strongly in situated practice which engages with live issues through problem based learning and research. In my practice as an artist I like to engage with site and respond to place, exploring the layered meanings and possibilities within the landscape.
I have been awarded prestigious research opportunities as artist in residence at numerous internationally significant institutions including the MOMART Fellowship at Tate Liverpool, Grizedale, Arteleku, Cove Park, NIFCA, Berwick Gymnasium Fellowship, Outlandia and more recently JoyaAiR in Almería, Spain.
Research interests
My research is an attempt to understand the natural environment we are part of. The resulting (art)works are an attempt to make this connection tangible. How do we sense environment and make sense of it?
PGR supervision interests
I am particularly interested in supporting research projects exploring the intersection of art & ecology through creative practice.
The Climate Crisis has caused me to look specifically at the role and responsibility of the artist:
Current PGR students
I currently co-supervise Alistair Bamforth with prof Ross Sinclair and Dr Elizabeth Hodson (DoS). (expected completion 2026)
