About
I am an artist, academic, and Head of the School of Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art, a role I began in February 2024. With over 25 years of experience in Higher Education, I am passionate about collaborating with others to develop excellent, inclusive, and innovative models of education. I have a particular interest in the role of art schools within the creative, civic, and societal ecologies they inhabit.
As an artist, my practice encompasses photography, film, and sculptural installation. My work invites viewers to engage with the processes and mechanisms behind image creation, employing hands-on, experimental approaches that draw on the origins of photography while reflecting on how we interact with images in the digital age.
