Truthing Gap
Submersion Dive Training Centre - Oban 2005

Truthing Gap involves research into undersea environments and related human activity. It is driven by an interest in the extra visual/geographic nature of the submaritime.

Between 2008-10 I was Leverhulme Trust, Artist in Residence at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, one of the world's top five oceanographic research institutions, working with sonar geophysicist Dr Tim Le Bas exploring methods of seabed mapping and undersea survey. The project explored the play of myth, imagination and objectivity, involved in envisaging environments that cannot be directly experienced, probing issues of knowledge production, perception and the nature of the scientific gaze.

Truthing Gap: Works (1)

A series of works in progress exhibited at Howard Gardens Gallery, University of Wales Institute and The National Oceanography Centre, Library, Southampton

Each marks an attempt to engage with processes of representing the undersea world while providing a ounterpoint to the virtual and optical emphasis of scientific methods. Seeking ways of 'knowing', centred upon the imagination, desire, the body and touch, capable of resisting the separation of subject and object demanded by the use of observation as a way of encountering the world.
