About 

I write journal papers about topics in philosophy, make films about philosophy for a general audience, and paint pictures of things that I find beautiful or energising.  

I'm a visiting researcher at King's College London, where I also teach MA philosophy of art. I am also doing an UG degree in Portraiture at the Art Academy London (based next to Borough Market).

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 

My enduring obsession, since the lockdown, has been to paint swimmers. Swimmers in the clear teardrop blue of a manicured pool. Swimmers in the gloop of the Hampstead ponds. Swimmers in a spray of seawater. Swimmers I see. Swimmers I remember. Swimmers I imagine. Why? Because I find that each moment of the swim comes with a special sort of euphoria. The anticipation of release from gravity. The slip back into a primitive home. The sun trapping in the salt after. A release and rebirth. Here are three I painted recently.
