I am an artist and writer specialising in the geographies of militarisation, information, surveillance and cinematic representation. I have a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, an MA in Humanities and Cultural Studies from the London Consortium, and a PhD in Visual Communications from the Royal College of Art. My work intersects academic, design and arts practices, exploring speculative relationships between architecture, power and place, and the possibilities for arts methods to reveal hidden or immaterial relations in the landscape.
During 2012-14, I was Research Associate at the Centre for Architecture and the Visual Arts (CAVA) at Liverpool University, an Early Career Research Fellow at Kingston University, London, and a Research Associate in the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge researching relationships between architecture and film on the CineMuseSpace project. Between 2020-23, he was a Lecturer in Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts (University of the Arts London).
