CV//Links

I’m a Senior Lecturer and researcher in the School of Art and the School of Design at Otago Polytechnic. I currently teach photography, digital literacy and design communication. As part of my research practice I regularly engage in collaborative projects that have a link through digital communication and technologies, whilst working as an artist, writer or curator. I developed and lead the recently initiated Digital Literacy core paper in the the new BVA at Otago Polytechnic.

I work and think across social, photographic, and electronic art discourse. Originally from the UK, I have been in New Zealand for 4 years.
