Darcy White MA

My research interests have lead to publications and conferences in areas such as widening the art and design curriculum to include 'non-western' visual culture, the relationship between design and consumption focussing on the mobile phone, public art and regional identity. This last paper considers some of the conclusions drawn from a long period of research on the public sculptures of Sheffield and South Yorkshire. It relates to work done in collaboration with Elizabeth Norman and David Ball for a book, edited by Darcy White: The Public Sculpture of Sheffield and south Yorkshire'.

In 2008 I was a panellist for the Marsh Award for Public Sculpture and Monuments.

My current research interests centre on the role of the aesthetic in contemporary photography
