Tim is an artist whose work investigates architectural space through a variety of media including movement, light and sound. His current practice/research asks, how can art inform our understanding of our relationship with domestic interior architecture? The work emanates from the space, becoming part of the structure and everyday life within it. Tim explores the house as object, penetrating the surface “skin” of the home to consider scale and inner space.
Tim is currently undertaking a practice based PhD. Research areas include haptic listening and the relationship between human touch and hearing, with particular focus on our experience of the physical world through surface. He created Vibrissa, devices which “play” surfaces through cat’s whiskers, converting surface texture into sound through physical touch. Current research considers the house as a “skin”. The resulting installations interrogate, penetrate and activate the spaces of interior domestic architecture, through movement and sound. The humble skirting board becomes an event horizon to be traversed and considered in minute detail as an architectural “seam” between the vertical and horizontal planes of wall and floor.
Tim’s teaching is interdisciplinary and practice led; he has extensive practical experience in education working across a range of levels and disciplines including fine art, architecture and 3D Design. He works practically and conceptually across media, specialising in sculpture and installation. Before joining Kent in 2010 he worked at several universities and colleges as a visiting and senior lecturer, which include the Architectural Association, Buckinghamshire University, The City Lit and UCA.
