Research has always been and continues to be a vital part of my artistic practice, there have also been periods when research has been formalised in an academic context. During and since my PhD I have delivered a number of conference papers, usually of a performative nature.

My PhD thesis is titled -becoming-#langscape-[fold here] intra-rupting landscape, language, and the creative act
