I'm an artist and Lecturer on the MLitt Contemporary Art Practice programme at Glasgow School of Art. My interdisciplinary practice meddles with science fiction and horror, the archive and the screen, sometimes meandering towards autofiction or delving into the literature and lives of writers, including Naomi Mitchison (1897-1999). Recent outings for my practice and research include Pint of Science Festival, Glasgow, 2025, The Cloud of Unknowing: Encounters with the UFO Phenomenon, Mildred’s Lane, New York, USA, July 2024, From Glasgow to Saturn: A Literary Journal at the University of Glasgow, Issue 52: Radical Joy Edition, Transitions: Annual Conference of Science Fiction Research Association, University of Tartu, 7-11 May 2024, solo exhibition Drew Barrymore's Island Hotel from Hell (Patricia Fleming, Glasgow 2023), Queereal Secretions (Annex Gallery, GSA, 2023), Fiction Machines IV (Bath School of Art, Film & Media, 20 July 2023), Feminist Histories of the Future (Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, 2023), Murky Waters (Edinburgh, 2022), The Immaterial Salon (Marseilles, 2022), Gothic Nature Journal III: Haunted Shores (https://gothicnaturejournal.com/) and The Influencing Machine (nGbK, Berlin, 2018).
