"A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window."
— Gilles Deleuze (A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia)

"Technology is not neutral. We're inside of what we make, and it's inside of us. We're living in a world of connections — and it matters which ones get made and unmade." Donna Haraway (A Cyborg Manifesto)

“We have to see creation as tracing a path between impossibilities.” Deleuze, Negotiations 

“Art struggles with chaos but it does so in order to render it sensory.” Deleuze and Guattari:

"Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole." Derek Walcott

In 2000 I started a full-time AHRB funded practice based PhD at Goldsmiths College. This was completed in 2005 and I have continued to practice and be involved in practice-based research ever since. This phase of practice and research culminated in an Arts Council for England funded exhibition at Dilston Grove, Cafe Gallery Projects in 2008. As an artist I have been excited by the dynamic relationships between research, theory and practice and how these relationships can be mutually beneficial to my own and others work. As a supervisor of practice-based PhDs I have taken a keen interest in the continuing and often contradictory developments in the way they are thought about in the educational institutions I have worked in over the last 10 years. The paradoxes and fluidity of the various manifestations of practice-based and practice-led research has both intrigued and frustrated me in equal measure.
