Biography
Angela Geary is a Reader at Northumbria University and combines her career in academic research with her studio practice in the North East of England. Angela's approach to painting, drawing and printmaking is influenced by historical artists' techniques and digital image manipulation technologies that she applies in her visualisation research. Her work challenges colour and process conventions and she explores the interplay of traditional techniques with new technological methods. In 2007, she was awarded a Rootstein Hopkins Foundation grant to undertake paintings as part of her Oil&Air project, exploring the impact of old and new energy industries on local environments and cultures. Study locations included Dungeness, the Outer Hebrides and the West coast of Norway. As a Research Associate at Glasgow School of Art in 2008, she developed the digital physicality project to investigate new methods of hybrid practice combining computer aided manufacture (CAM) technologies, including laser cutting, with traditional intaglio printmaking. A&C Black recently contracted her, and co-author Paul Catanese, Assistant Professor at Columbia College Chicago, to write a book on CAM Printmaking.
