RESEARCH
Research forms the backbone of his practice, shaping both the conceptual foundations of the work and the materials from which it is constructed. Working extensively with archives, historical references, collected media, and visual culture, he develops projects through processes of gathering and connecting material related to overarching themes.
His work draws on influences ranging from Canaletto, Raphael, Hieronymus Bosch, John Constable, and John Martin to thinkers including Confucius, Arthur Schopenhauer, and John Cage. Alongside his studio practice and teaching research, he is currently undertaking a practice-based PhD in Creative Writing at Lancaster University (2019–2027), investigating how digital image-making technologies and large-scale montage can inform new forms of contemporary writing through the concept of Digital Ekphrasis.

Abstract
This PhD investigates how digital image-making techniques, specifically Gigapan technology developed by NASA and large-scale digital montage, can inform and reshape contemporary writing practices. Originating in my visual art practice, the research develops the concept of Digital Ekphrasis: a mode of writing that is not simply responsive to images but structurally shaped by the technological and compositional processes through which digital images are produced.
