I am an interdisciplinary artist, designer and human geography researcher, currently Assistant Professor Arts, Design and Social Science at Northumbria University.
I am predominantly interested in the waiting body, and have researched: workers waiting through furlough, waiting in queues during the COVID-19 pandemic, waiting in the Queen’s lying in state queue and astronauts waiting for space launch. Acts of waiting are indicative of the conditions that surround them, but I am also fascinated by how waiting is felt spatially, emotionally and sensorially by individuals.
