About

I am an Associate Professor in Fine Art and member of the Contemporary Art Research Centre at Kingston. I teach BA Fine Art and supervise PhD Fine Art by practice students. I studied Sculpture at Liverpool Polytechnic and Experimental Media at the Slade.

My research is through a socially-engaged Fine Art practice using objects, imagery and strategies from 80's feminism, working class culture, new age spirituality and Utopian Humanism to interrogate meanings embedded within locations and objects.
