Although
my research is studio based in nature, it is informed by historical
and contextual investigations. I work for exhibition, installation,
and to commission. I write, curate and instigate research projects
as and when the need or opportunity arises…
My PhD research was funded by a MIRIAD bursary from 2004 to 2007. It was a synthesis of practice based, historical and critical investigation. Created to satisfy specific institutional academic guidelines it is (as with all PhDs) presented in a very formulaic manner, and a snapshot of my research at a particular time. It does however form a basis for my ongoing investigation and future publications. Please read my Musings on a PhD - from my blog here:
The written thesis can be downloaded from here:
and an associated exhibition pdf from here: The image quality of these digital files has been compromised to allow for reasonable download times. Access to artworks in real space (as opposed to the virtual) is of course much preferable, but at least this way of presenting research findings makes the work available to anyone, anywhere in the world.
I am an independent artist/researcher - not formally affiliated to any institution so if you would like to make a donation to my ongoing research costs for accessing these files please do so via a paypal payment - contact me and I will provide the necessary information for you to do this.
Please note these files are being made available for individual research purposes only. If you do use my thesis and/or other resources please make appropriate reference in your publication/exhibition. I'd also love to hear from you, to understand how and where you have used the work.
For uses other than personal research (eg. for teaching, curation etc) please contact me first. Thanks...
