Personal profile

Research Interests

I'm interested in the following themes:

  • Shadow Places
  • More-than-Human
  • Landscape, migration and place
  • Environmental Sound Art
  • Expanded Moving Image and Performance
  • Pollution

 

Current Project Include:

  • Experiences of Polluted Leisure where the River Tees meets the Sea
  • Demystifying the 'Cloud' and understanding the strain on resource to support our digital lives
  • Expanded Moving Image and Performance
  • Arts Council Project exploring Mining legacies

 

Past Projects Include:

  • Investigating the Sonic Potential and Heritage Sounds of the Welsh Slate industry
  • Recording the liminal spaces of the Northern Ireland/ Ireland border

 

Research Focus

My research focuses on the use of multiple mediums to explore post-industrial legacies, relationships between pollution and leisure, as well as energy use and data. This practice-based research explores damaged landscapes asking questions of their contemporary role, relevance and our emotive response to them. The practice aims to push the intersection of ethnographic and moving image practices.
