Examples of starting points include the thought experiments of Iris Murdoch, the representation of women in 1970s film, and the essays of Susan Sontag and Roland Barthes. Sometimes within the aesthetic context of conceptual writing, my practice includes making books, videos, performances, installation, collaboration and an Instagram account @cartography_for_girls. In 2019 I completed a practice led Ph.D. at Leeds Beckett University, and I’m the author of Cartography for Girls, an A-Z of Orientations identified within the Novels of Iris Murdoch.
I’m a co-founder and member of blimey!, a female-led Darlington-based arts collective, and a research associate of (women) In Parenthesis. I also teach fine art and critical and contextual studies in art and design at Queen Elizabeth FE College, Darlington.
