Research Interests
1960s and 1970s counterculture, technology and the counterculture,
free school education, photography in the era of web 2.0, digital
technologies/family photography and the shifting nature of these
archives in the digital age, experimental film and video art,
re-cycled film, art and text.
Current Project:
‘Growing up in the New Age’ www.growingupinthenewage.org
This is an artist initiated research project that explores
this alternative world, from communes in the south of France,
squatting in South London and ‘free school’ education
to the many forays into all things ‘New Age’ set against
the backdrop of social and political happenings of the era. Using
a range of approaches including photography/digital imaging, film
and video, writing, collecting, re-using archival materials and
the web ‘Growing up in the New Age’ sets out to reconsider
the social utopias of the 1960s and early 70s and what we might
learn from them today. |

Visiting Research Fellow at PARC (Photography

The Elephant Vanishes, Tate Modern,
London
This weeklong residency invited artists, writers, filmmakers and
photographers to explore Elephant and Castle prior to the planned
1.5 billion-regeneration of the area. The ageing pink shopping centre
and hectic traffic roundabout are now seen as unsatisfactory experiemts
in modernity. This residency/workshop explored, investigated and
documented the area around elephant and castle and culminated with
a performance and exhibition in the East Room at Tate Modern. My
work focused on Baldwin’s Herbal Remedies shop on the Walworth
road where I work as a student. |

Braziers International Artists Workshop,
Oxfordshire
Braziers brings together up to 30 artists of all nationalities for
16 days to work, exchange dialogue and experiment in a way that
is mutually beneficial. It offers an opportunity of participating
in an activity removed geographically and conceptually from usual
studio practice; in an environment where experiments can be made
and leaps of imagination can occur. My work explored the communal
environment and role of food in the community through video and
photography. Arts Council England funded. |

Three of its historic founders and key partners are the City of
Paris, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

childhood. |

| Selected Talks
/ Papers at Conferences: |
| 2010 |
Alternative Worlds (forthcoming) The
institute for Germanic and Romance studies (University of London
School of Advanced Study). In an attempt to escape the doom and
gloom of the economic crisis the seminar’s theme for 2011
is ‘Alternative Worlds’. The aim is to examine the dreams,
plans and hopes, but also the nightmares and fears reflected in
utopian thinking since 1900 in the Western hemisphere. My talk will
be on the project ‘Growing up in the New Age’. |
| 2008 |
Marking Space – Swansea Metropolitan
University / CIRIC.
This was a multi-disciplinary one-day symposium where artists and
designers from many disciplines explored sometimes very different
interpretations of what it means to ‘mark space’. Some
considered issues of gendered space, belonging and displacement,
others interrogated the meaning of virtual and physical space: how
we occupy space and how we move through it. My talk focused on my
art practice in critical context exploring in particular how people
‘mark space’. |
| 2006 |
2006 Interacting with the Archive;
Creative Approaches, National Glass Centre, Sunderland.
Including presentations on the Peterlee Project by Stuart Brisley
and North East Mining archive by Stuart Howard. Co-ordination of
conference in collaboration with Michelle Allen and Interface, University
of Ulster as part of the series of events; Performing the Archive.
I also gave a paper on archives and artists working practices. |
| 2007 |
2007 Picturing the Family - From the
Inside Out The National Portrait Gallery, London
This one-day event looked at family Photography. My talk ‘Dirty
Linen, Nausea and Belgian Waffles’ explored the question “Can
a subject ever be too personal?” through looking at my own
work within the context of family and drawing on examples from arts
and popular culture to examine these issues. |
| 2005 |
Art in Boxes PARC (Photography and
the Archive research centre) University of the Arts, London.
'Art in Boxes' was a series of seminars for invited speakers and
MA and PhD students held at PARC. My talk asked, “Is the way
photographs are collected and stored changing forever in the digital
age? How will we examine a legacy left on-line a personal collection
out there in the ether? Is this indeed the last picture show?”
The talk also explored ideas of the miniature and the contained
through Bachelard’s “Poetics of Space’. |
