My central interest is in creativity, interweaving four lifelong threads in my thinking: an interest in psychoanalysis as a means of understanding the dynamics of creative work (and more recently neuroaesthetics which looks at aesthetic judgement in the brain from a neuroscience perspective), art history and criticism from the point of view of the the way in which both society and individuals (artists and viewers) use the art of their own times to bring coherence and insight to their experience, child art and childhood as a way into the psychodynamics of aesthetic experience, and my own persevering creative practice, first in sculpture and then in film.
