Born into a working class community in Warrington in the mid-1960s, I am an artist and writer. My job title is Reader in Art and Marxism at Chelsea, Camberwell and Wimbledon, the University of the Arts, London. I've written several books including Art and Labour (Brill 2020), Art and Postcapitalism (Pluto 2019) and Art and Value (Brill 2015). I worked in the collective Freee between 2004 and 2018. My solo art practice revisits the critical traditions of photomontage, documentary photography, digital print, the photo archive and the photobook through processes of material metamorphosis.
