My doctoral project is to develop theoretical responses to materiality through an interrogation of dust and the fragment.  I am particularly interested in the implications of the artwork 'Break Down' (2001) in which, having catalogued his possessions, the artist Michael Landy systematically dismantled and granulated everything he owned.  'Break Down' can be seen as an articulation of modalities including the system, the fetish, nostalgia and fragmentation. 

Alongside my studies with Goldsmiths, I am a member of the Faculty of Arts at the Open University, working both as an Associate Lecturer and as a Faculty Manager supporting students and fellow Associate Lecturers across a range of programmes of study at undergrad and postgrad levels.
