In addition to teaching one day a week in Fine Art Photography, I am a lecturer on the Contemporary Art Practice BA (Hons) course at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen. I have exhibited nationally and internationally in such countries as Egypt, Finland, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and the USA. My work uses an interdisciplinary approach which incorporates a wide range of media from public sculpture and installation to interactive media and the moving image. In the last 5 years My research has shifted towards more theoretical concerns and in particular an interest in theories of non-verbal representation. During this time I have presented at several conferences including papers given at UC Berkeley in the US and Imperial College, London. Both papers have been published.

My current research seeks to explore, expose and disentangle a variety of conceptual confusions that beleaguer discussions of representation in a variety of fields including art theory, philosophy of mind, cognitive neuroscience and cultural evolution. Although my work has significant ramifications in these several fields, my principal focus is on art theory and the theorisation of depiction. In particular my research focuses on nonverbal representation (images, models, imitation etc.) and aims to clarify the categorial differences between these and verbal communication: language.
