My Research and supervisory interests cover illustration and the emergence of new approaches to the discipline as a practice and pedagogic subject. In particular, new ways of articulating the central tenet of Illustration as a discipline of translation and representation.
Since 2014 I have taken on six PhD students, four as a lead supervisor. They share the common ground of using Illustration Practice as a tool to examine such diverse areas as archive, place, education, interpretation and choreography:
Hannah Rollings - Co-designing Ecology with Children for Mental Wellbeing.
Leah Fusco - Imag(in)ing Northeye: the visual reclamation of a shifting landscape through memory, experience and speculation.
Mireille Fauchon - Parallel Narratives; Interpreting Vernacular Histories through Participatory Illustration Practice.
Yeni Kim - Drawing Home: Visualising Oral History of Migrants Through Illustration Practice
Matthew Richardson - I underline the things you should keep: The Para-illustration of J G Ballard.
Nic Clark - In/Visible Dances: Commuters Choreographies as Social Cartography.
As an Illustration Animation Department we welcome new PhD proposals and are committed to build across disciplinary divides and develop new opportunities for collaborative enablement and new knowledge.
