My essay, which explores the role of art as a research methodology to encapsulate knowledge and to help give new insights, is now openly available on the research platform; Cambridge Open Engage - Cambridge University Press. Written during the pandemic (2021), the paper sheds light on the effects of coastal climate change. It favours a turning towards the sublime instead of the picturesque and advocates for the agency in rubble. This is all executed through a video montage which is informed by the writings of philosopher Martin Buber and in essence, the ghost of Robert Smithson.

Thank you to Scottish artist-researcher Anne Bevan of the University of the Highlands and Islands for providing guidance throughout this project.
Shetland: An Archaeology of the Unknown is featured in the March April 2023 Visual Artists Ireland News Sheet (page 34).
