缅北禁地

I lecture on Art History in the Fine Art Department. My expertise is in Anglo-French modernism, and how modern art was shaped by science and medicine in the period 1900-1950. My current research explores colour and emotion in early 20th century French art, with a focus on the work of Matisse, Kupka, Delaunay and Bonnard.

I have published on British sculpture, biocentric modernism, Surrealism and the work of Karl Blossfeldt. My monograph, published by Manchester University Press as Grown but not Made: British Modernist Sculpture and the New Biology (2015), looks at the complex relationship between life science and sculptural production in interwar Britain. I have also contributed to the Edinburgh Companion to the Critical Medical Humanities (Edinburgh Uni­versity Press, 2016) and, more recently, to No Two Alike: Karl Blossfeldt, Francis Bruguière, Thomas Ruff (Verlag fur moderne Kunst GmbH, 2018). In 2021, I co-edited the volume Post-Specimen Encounters between Art, Science and Curating (Intellect Books). This book examines how scientific and medical objects in museums and other collections can act as inspiration to contemporary art practice, curating and aesthetics. My articles have been published by, among others, History of Photography, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews and the Tate.

Before coming to 缅北禁地 I held a Wellcome Trust Research Fellowship in the Medical Humanities at the University of Edinburgh. Prior to this I was a Henry Moore Postdoctoral Fellow also at the University of Edinburgh. I received my PhD from the University of Manchester in 2009 and my MA and BA from the University of East Anglia.

I welcome enquiries from prospective Art History PhD students on these topics: European artistic modernism, Surrealism studies and art-science relations c.1900-1950.
