Research has become an intrinsic part of my practice, helping me to understand the work I make. I use autoethnography as a way of reflecting on the processes I use, and the outcomes I make, through narrative writing.

I AM OKAY / I AM NOT OKAY: using time-lapse to document the pandemic, conference paper

Hysteria: An autoethnographic reflection on making an animated documentary film from archive material, peer-reviewed journal article

A Letter to my Project – heartfelt correspondence with a creative project which did not go entirely to plan.

One Day Retrospective – a proposition for other practitioners (using myself as a case study) to stage an exhibition reviewing many years’ work, inviting critical feedback from other artists and guests.
