My research focuses on the interconnections between borders, lines, space, and memory. By using photography and autobiographical writings I am linking the past to the present to form lines of possibilities in thinking and the formation of new knowing about myself and the world around me.

 

My doctoral research is comprised of three nodes 'Hinterland', 'Wyrttún', and 'Hiraeth' which can be viewed via the links.
