EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONS

2011 – 2015 PhD in Fine Arts

Elam School of Fine Arts

University of Auckland, New Zealand

Thesis: Mindful Repetitions: Ecologically Informed Buddhism and Contemporary Printmaking

University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarship (2011-2015)

Research project: Integrating theory and creative practice through an investigation of non-toxic and contemporary printmaking has been a key element to my PhD project. The research explored structures and connections among eco-Buddhism and printmaking, embodied ways of knowing, and art/craft relationship. It encompassed Naess' deep ecology and aspects of Buddhist thought, and it investigated Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, Spinoza's theory of immanence, and notion of repetition associated to philosophy of Deleuze. My research proposed that centuries old Buddhist teaching may generate approaches to more ecological printmaking that chime with contemporary concerns. The creative component of my thesis has been informed by a strong desire to work in the media of print within the fields of contemporary woodcut, installation, and expanded forms of printmaking. Uniting intellectual and physical action of making has been one of key constituents to my creative practice.
