Teaching on undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Fine Art. Particular interest in photography and its transferability to other disciplines within the visual arts spectrum and into the development of cross-disciplinary understanding. Motivated by the challenge to help students progressively build confidence and rigor in their own areas of investigation, to encourage innovation within image making and media and build synergies between practice and theory. Current scholarly activity: Visual arts research which uses the full range of photographic technologies and maintains a meaningful relation with the evolving contribution that other disciplines make to the study of landscape, place and space. The research is rooted in a belief that understanding the natural world through a matrix of cross-disciplinary theory, experimental practices, reflective and iterative production and engagement in the phenomenological can lead to different visual concepts and products. This involves a shift from 'seeing' landscape not just as a place or space to be aesthetically framed or pictured through camera-based photography, to analyzing landscape as within a dynamic interplay of influences and factors. Key research features: · Nature and landscape as portals of enquiry - human discordance and estrangement · Scientific interventions with the natural world - colonization and commercialization of biomaterials - relational reorientations to nature and evolution theory · Distinctive sites of landscape change and investigation - experiences of place and space over time · Philosophical and theoretical conceptions of space, place, landscape and aesthetics as contextual frameworks and as stimuli for image making

  • Visual methodologies in a post-photographic environment
  • Reconfigurations around capture and construction in photography - observation as 'practiced' places versus 'conceptual' imaginations of space and place
  • Artifacts and exhibition within research
  • Alternatives to dialectics or dualism within analysis
