SURE

My arts practice is interdisciplinary, utilising drawing, sculpture and design based outcomes. I consider my teaching work to be a key part of this practice and an extension of the concerns explored within these activities. I often work collaboratively and have involved students alongside other artists and designers. I take inspiration from pioneering artists and educators, reinterpreting and re-evaluating design histories and pedagogical experiments. My research is pursued through arts activities and more academic reflection on teaching and learning. I have helped to establish Foundation Press, a Risograph studio and collaborative practice based within the Foundation course. The press aims to engage both students and practitioners of contemporary art and design in developing new outcomes and initiatives in print. I am a member of the Steering Group for the National Association of Fine Art Education (NAFAE) and am actively involved in current discourse on art and design education.
