Currently, he is investigating the phenomena of dialogue and phonology, exploring the power and persona of the author. His upcoming novel set in Central Europe explores identity and geopolitical espionage, expanding his inquiry into comparative vernacular systems. Ian has appeared in major film productions and smaller independent arthouse projects, which continue to inform his practice and research into dualism.
