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.
