University of the Arts LondonGraduate Student Researcher
Oct. 2014London, England, United KingdomAs an artist, educator and facilitator my arts practice has been radically influenced by the interdisciplinary potential of artistic research. My professional career has evolved by addressing how artistic research may be performed, narrated and shared by challenging traditional presentation formats with experimental ways in which I bring my research to exhibitions, presentations for the curriculum, symposiums and conferences. I describe my practice as an intersection of political science with sculptural installation. My teaching and research at UAL have changed my perspective and my participation within the field of art. Pedagogy is important to my practice, it drives how I continually learn and how it informs my ability to lead. Through my thesis, I have identified some academic practices that are historically limiting, hierarchical and promote disembodiment. I seek and apply alternative teaching structures in which to engage students and communities that respect diversity, difference and ability. • I maintain an active exhibition practice along with attending and presenting at conferences and symposiums around contemporary art practice.
• I am aligned with art practice centered research, encompassing inter-disciplinary fields including, fine art, moving image, new media and performance within contemporary art. • Through teaching and organising events I have investigated the strategies, approaches and methods that students and practitioners are exploring within their lived experience that brings critical theoretical value embodied within artworks and events. It is through my research where theory and personal experience have touched that I have gained confidence in my ability to communicate, inspire, collaborate and generate a community in which art doesn’t just make us human; it will be the critical and alternative strategies that begin to mend the political and economic systems that have destabilised the planet.
WASPS, The BriggaitAdministration Assistant
Jan. 2010 - Jan. 2012Glasgow, Scotland, United KingdomFrom 2010- 2012 I worked as program administrator for WASPS (Workshop and Artist Studio Provision in Scotland) in the main headquarters, The Briggait, Glasgow. This role supported the board and my responsibilities included curatorial strategy for the three exhibition spaces, selecting artists from open calls, creating a high standard of contemporary exhibitions and developing new audiences. I collaborated with individuals and organisations to create exhibition opportunities for the Briggait tenants and visiting artists, creating new and exciting projects offering local and international presence to Glasgow’s cultural calendar. Working as an artist in the Briggait allowed me the opportunity to develop peer relationships with the tenants, this enabled a clear understanding of their needs and genuinely act as a liaison between the administration and the tenants. This role was challenging because the needs of the organisation were often in conflict with the needs of the tenants. This position required diplomacy as well as how I might be a productive member of the institution and also address the needs of the community of artists.
UDE Lmtd.Art Director
Jan. 2006 - Mar. 2012Glasgow, Scotland, United KingdomIn addition to my academic career at UAL, I have worked as an art director, curator and producer of art events. In 2010 I worked in collaboration with two established artists networks to produce and make visible a fringe festival for the Glasgow International Contemporary Art Fair. This project highlighted the vibrant grass roots arts scene that thrived in Glasgow. The event was published in the form of a map in The Skinny, a local cultural events reviews and listings monthly publication and as producer I wrote a rolling blog, supported through social media networks, introducing events and orienting people to official and unofficial happenings and exhibitions as part of the GI. In the lead up to this event since 2008, I organized and curated exhibitions in public spaces, working and mentoring artists to exhibit their work and develop professional relationships with wider stakeholders.
Artist, Facilitator, CraftivistArtist
Jan. 2000Milton Keynes, England, United KingdomI have been educated with traditional methods of drawing, sculptural practices (casting, ceramics, welding), print making and design. These skills were instrumental in my artistic development in order to play with material, artistic processes and new media with confidence; meaning I started with traditional processes in order to question and enfold contemporary issues into expressive and meaningful artworks through non-traditional materials. My teaching experience has involved teaching practical methods and more advanced content to help students achieve and develop their experience from drawing and casting to incorporating new media, film and performance. I am an artist, and this responsibility intertwines with many varied roles and choices that I have made to participate, motivate and stimulate communities. I have a high level of self-discipline which allows me to multi-task and be engaged in things that are meaningful to me. I have been able to cultivate this lifestyle through work in trade, self-initiated projects, teaching, collaborations and awarded funding. I have the utmost respect for deadlines and working diligently to achieve tasks on time. I could only meet my deadlines in many of the projects and work opportunities by being well organised, motivated and committed to a professional work ethic.
