Dr Fiona Larkin


Home / About / Academic staff profiles / Arts / Fiona Larkin

Lecturer in Fine Art

I am an interdisciplinary artist with a practice that spans drawing, moving image, and text. I am interested in ideas of perspective shift, empathy, attention, and the possibility for alongsideness as a productive and creative structure. In a recent commission for MIMA and the Women Artists of the North East Library, I developed a discreet installation and a publication in response to archival material.


Teaching and supervision

Research interests for potential research students

My PhD examined ideas of tacit knowledge, embodied attention, and empathy. I am open to supervising visual art practice-led PhDs with a focus on these areas.
