My research interests include experimental and documentary film practice, the intersection of filmmaking and family life, and collective filmmaking practices.
I have written frame analyses of the films of Rose Lowder, Dziga Vertov, Kurt Kren and Stan Brakhage.
I am particularly interested in investigating the processes of filmmaking, printmaking, drawing and textiles and the importance of play in creativity.
Recent research projects include:
Film maker in the Family, which began in 2016 with a curated screening event at the BFI Southbank, which brought together films that reflexively examined the impact of family life on the creative process. Railwaywomen (2018) a short film shot on the Mid Hants Railway, was part of this project. My chapter, Film maker in the Family: The impact of family life on creativity, is published in the edited volume Feminist Activisms/Artivisms (edited by Katy Deepwell) by Valiz 2020.
Contributor to 'Responding to "Women and Creativity"' edited by Catherine Grant.
