I am an artist/photographer and researcher. My main interests include photography and the photobook, social class and the formation of identity.

I have completed a fully funded PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University. My thesis is titled:
​A Practice-led Investigation into the Role of the Photobook in Representing the British Working-Classes Since 1975 (2018)
(click to download from Ethos).

My M.Res thesis, Making Visible: Social Class in the Art of Gillian Wearing (2012) (click to download), utilized the art of Gillian Wearing as a vehicle to investigate the lived experience of class and working class culture both within and without the Art World.
