Profile
I am a historian of nineteenth-century art and visual cultures, specialising in the history and historiography of Impressionism. I aim to expand and nuance our understanding of Impressionism's origins, development, and scope by recovering neglected forms of visual evidence and examining marginalised cultures, spaces, and practices, all seen through the lens of innovative methodologies.
My book Gustave Caillebotte as Worker, Collector, Painter, now in paperback, re-interprets the career of this once-forgotten painter by foregrounding his compulsions to work and to collect.
My current research project, Ephemeral Impressions: Impressionism in the Age of Ephemera examines the impact of colour-printed ephemera (transient, disposable images like restaurant menus, advertising cards, and packaging) on the development of Impressionist aesthetics.
Concurrently, I am engaging with decolonial art history to unpick the complex relationships between transnational circuits and national imaginaries in the collection, display, and reception of Impressionism in Wales.
I teach and supervise broadly on European art and visual culture in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries; global modernities and modernisms; photography from 1839 to the contemporary; critical theory and research methodologies; and art historiography.
