Biography
My research into themes of falsity and deception uses the process of photographic image making and related media as a way of staging, observing, performing, and facilitating in order to examine and explore mediated versions of reality. Central to my research is an intense and repeated scrutiny of the issues raised by such subjects as fakes, tests, hierarchy, science-fiction, explosions, photography, and gunfire. My art research richly contributes to the research culture of the Slade School of Fine Art,
My art research is recognised for its innovative interdisciplinary engagement. I have worked with scientists, the police, pickpockets, the fire service, forensic investigators, historians, and firearms experts in the development of new works. I am a leading figure using this approach within photographic fine art practice, as evidenced by the inclusion of two bodies of work in Manifesta11, European Biennale ‘What People Do For Money.’ (191,995 visitors). My artworks have been exhibited in significant survey exhibitions connecting science and art (Revelations, Science Museum, London 2015 & To The Edge of Time, KU, Leuven 2021) alongside artefacts by Stephen Hawking, and pioneers of photograph
