Riffing Off Kevin Cox: Thinking through Comparison

In 2016 Kevin Cox published a book that brought some of these issues to the fore, challenging the ways in which US models have tended to dominate and (with the help of reflections on the experience of Western Europe) highlighting the extent of what he called the American exception. In this intervention four authors from different perspectives and located in different geographies deliver not a review or critique of the text but a series of responses, riffing off Cox to generate ways of thinking about comparison as well as offering alternative ways of approaching some of the issues with which he grapples, reflecting on particular national experiences while setting out to place them comparatively, and drawing wider conclusions while posing new questions, to which Kevin Cox in turn responds

'Web of Life' - Profile of Kevin Petrie in Printmaking Today Winter 2024

This is a 1200 word profile of Kevin Petrie and his recent work for 'Printmaking Today' which is the journal of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers. The piece gives an overview of Petrie's creative practice focusing on the novels and thinking of Dame Iris Murdoch (1919-1999). The piece discusses Petrie's evolving model of creative practice for this project: reading the novels, sketching to visualise elements, developing and combining images in the studio and then reengagement with Murdoch (through the community, literature and archive). Petrie's 'Other Journeys' and 'Web of Life' exhibitions are discussed.

He is the lead editor of the Iris Murdoch Review, the Series Editor of ‘Iris Murdoch Today’ with Palgrave Macmillan, and has published widely on Murdoch’s work.
