Summary
I teach Photography in the Art and Design department and I am a researcher in The Culture and Creativity Research Institute.
I am also a visual artist working with a variety of media and methods including video, photography, sculpture and installation employing the strategies of appropriation, performance and participation.
About
Before joining Sheffield Hallam University, I was an Associate Lecturer at The University of Derby and at Sheffield University.
I have regularly given lectures and talks about my practice within universities and on a more public stage as part of exhibitions of my work. Alongside this I have written about my work and the work of other artists, delivering written pieces for public galleries and artists’ publications.
I have exhibited my work in a solo capacity and in group shows nationally and internationally, and I have received a number of awards in relation to international projects and towards the production of new works.
Recent exhibitions include PostNatures, Graves Gallery, Sheffield (2023/2024), One Minute, Gallery Wolf & Galentz, Berlin, Germany (2023), Brewers Towner International, Towner Gallery, Eastbourne (2022/2023), Things Fall Apart, Haarlem Artspace, Wirksworth (solo exhibition) (2022), Stories, Bankley Gallery, Manchester (2022), Aggregate, Freelands Foundation, London (2022), Heavy Water, Site gallery, Sheffield (2021), Big Screen Southend, Focal Point Gallery, Southend on Sea (2021), Talking Sense, The Portico Library, Manchester (2020), Some Palaces, Künstlerhaus Dortmund, Germany (solo exhibition) (2019), SALTO Verbindt, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2019), Doc/Fest, Global Citizens Strand screenings, Sheffield (2019), In Common, The University of Derby, UK (2019), Anonyme Zeichner, Galerie im Körnerpark, Berlin, Germany (2018), Moving Image Festival, Balaclafa Carn, Caernarfon, Wales (2018), Traverse Vidéo, Institut Supérieur d’Arts, Toulouse, France (2017), Objets Singuliers, 34th Festival International De Court Métrage, Aix-en-Provence, France (2016), Contemporary Art Ruhr, Directors Lounge, Essen Zollverein, Germany (2016). Recent commissions include a public artwork for ARTHOUSES LOCALwifi, displayed in the coastal town of Whitley Bay (2021) and a podcast for Montez Press Radio, archived and broadcasted in Sheffield, UK, New York, USA and Berlin, Germany (2022). I have recently completed a two-year artist residency programme at Site Gallery, as part of Platform20 and the Freelands Artist Programme. My work has appeared in various publications and has been written about by Zoe Sawyer (Curator at Eastside Project), Lauren Velvick (Director at Corridor 8) and Angelica Sule (Director of Film and Video Umbrella).

Research
I use literature, cinema and any other material able to convey narratives, which I then playfully subvert to provoke new meanings.
My research seeks to elaborate how artefacts and archival materials can be translated into digital medium, what new understanding can be generated from this translation and how this can participate to the reframing and reassessing of historical narratives. My research also seeks to ask if digital mediums can be part of a strategy to question cultural objects and if this can lead to developing an audience sensibility so that one can see themselves implicated in a variety of political realities and complex histories.
