Heather Pulliam specializes in early medieval art, particularly in the contexts of Britain and Ireland. Her research interrogates the visual materiality of art objects, focusing on the relationship between the viewer and the artwork. She has explored understudied aspects of art and its context through various publications. Her notable work includes 'The Performative Cross,' which looks at the interaction with the Ruthwell Cross and her monograph 'Word Image Book of Kells,' which examines marginalia that guide the reader's gaze. Pulliam's studies often emphasize the roles of color, number, and ornamentation in works like the Lindisfarne Gospels. She has been a part of the curatorial team for the 'Celts' exhibition at the British Museum and the National Museum of Scotland in 2015. Awarded a Leverhulme-funded research fellowship, her recent project delves into how environmental factors affect one’s perception of medieval crosses. Current projects include a monograph on early medieval art set to be published by Cambridge University Press and co-editing a book with Rachel Moss on Irish and Scottish Art.
