My research is concerned with 20th and 21st century art and visual culture in Britain, its critical discourses and institutions, and with the processes and practices of cultural landscapes and environments. I have strong interests in the social and historical relations between forms of cultural production, and in this spirit was founding editor of the Routledge journal Visual Culture in Britain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My initial focus on early 20th<\/sup> century landscapes and cultures of ruralism began with my book British Artists and the Modernist Landscape<\/em> (Routledge, 2003) and The Geographies of Englishness, Landscape and the National Past<\/em>, co-edited with David Peters Corbett and Fiona Russell (Yale, 2002). More recently I have been concerned with the imagining, representation and experience of the UK rural north, especially of island locations and the English- Scottish border region as registered across diverse forms of visual and material culture from post-1945 to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With emphasis on rural modernity and a border-crossing geographical and conceptual focus, I am currently developing a monograph examining visual artists’ responses to, and interactions with, the material resources of cross-border locations and communities in evolving social, cultural and environmental contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
