My research and practice use animation to document the invisible, particularly in scientific arenas. The invisible can be conceptual, temporarily concealed, hermeneutic, overlooked, or implicit. My research is internationally recognised as pioneering, having won two awards from the journal Nature (2010, 2016), won ‘Best British Film’ at the London International Animation Festival (2019), nominated for two biennial British Animation Awards (2004, 2020), and longlisted for a BAFTA (2020). I have recently been commissioned to make a film for the BFI Short Form Film fund (£120K). Recent research projects include a Wellcome Trust Fellowship Enrichment Award, ‘The Language of Shapes’, and a collaborative project ‘Treasure’ with the British Film Institute and The British Museum. In addition to my Senior Tutor role at The Royal College of Art (0.8), I am Visiting Professor in Animation at University College Volda, Norway, where I co supervise two practiced based PhDs, and co-editor of Animation Practice, Process & Production, Intellect Press Journal, with Dr Miriam Harris (Auckland University of Technology).
