Hello
I’m an artist and producer currently doing a PhD between FACT, Liverpool and MIRIAD, Manchester School of Art, on reinventing the old Liverpool Observatory. The project works through ideas and activities linked to community, information and new materialist philosophy.
Other recent projects explore interplay between mind, language, technology and place - working in collaboration with others and materialising in various forms - from street furniture to posters, typefaces to symposia, books to workshops.
I am on Working Group I of the COST Action on New Materialism and have a BA (LJMU) and MA (Sussex) in Art History.
