Teaching & Research

Teaching

Having written and led the broad-based BA (hons) in Fine Art between 2012-2016, I now run the MA, increasingly working across post-graduate and research levels.

Research

Within writing and research, I have particular interests in the relevance and importance of Drawing within Contemporary Art practice, specifically looking at the relationship between the autographic drawn mark and digital/emerging technologies. This research has been disseminated widely through projects and conferences at a range of institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and Drawing Room, London.
