Mick McGraw is an artist, researcher and Programme Leader of MLitt Contemporary Art Practice within the School of Fine Art.

McGraw’s creative practice research is situated in the field of interdisciplinary practice and focuses on an inter-relationship between historical interventions and adaptions of landscape, land use, memory, place and socio-political influences on people and place.

His work examines issues around territory, changing borders and conflict, refugee status and the influence broadcast media contributes to global reporting and the ethical implications of imagery. McGraw’s research is informed by critical theory on technology, broadcast media, historical analysis of land use and the infrastructure of defence and displacement of people. He combines complex political concerns with aesthetics by referencing historical and industrial interventions in land use and poses new, alternative possibilities.

His work includes print, photography, installation, sculpture, text, drawings, artist books and moving image. He is part of the research group Reading Landscape at
