Academic interests
I am an Energy Humanities researcher and visual artist with a broad interest in energy history, island culture, archival studies, and creative research methodologies. My doctoral research project "Energy Acts" traces creative energy discourse across a century of festival acts, examining how Shetlanders have encountered different fuels throughout time.
Background
I graduated cum laude from the Maastricht Institute of Fine Arts and the University of Amsterdam and am currently a doctoral research fellow in Petroculture Studies at the University of Oslo. My interdisciplinary projects address mining histories and the realities of left-behind extractive landscapes, and often result in long research trajectories that take shape in different mediums, including installations, performance, audio, textiles, drawings, artist publications, and essays.
