I am an art historian and scholar of religion working at the interdisciplinary juncture of art history, anthropology, theology, and religious and cultural studies. My research explores Islamic mysticism (Sufism), Islamic art and aesthetics, and the ways religious worlds become perceptible through images, objects, bodies, ritual, sensory experience, landscape, and the imagination.
The website serves as a digital companion to images discussed in my recent publications and ongoing research projects. At the same time, it is intended to contribute to the evolving scholarly ‘ecosystem’ of digital technologies and to preserve, curate, and make accessible the visual aspects of my research.
