Profile
My research inhabits a broad area within visual communication culture, including: visual sociology / ethnography, social semiotics / multimodality, creative / photographic practice, with a particular interest in the contested notions surrounding landscape representation, collective memory, and place. My approach to research is informed by a long, and varied career as a professional visual artist, and designer in the television and music industries. I actively embrace practice research and critical writing to provoke new critical discourses.
Specific areas of research interest include:
- visual communications culture
- social semiotics and multimodality
- visual sociology/ethnography
- landscape representation(s)
- spatial poetics/politics
- critical research-led image-making
In relation to Ph.D. supervision, I'm particularly interested in supporting inter-disciplinary research projects.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (London, UK)
Member of the International Visual Sociology Association (New York, USA)
