I am a multi-disciplinary artist, specialising in installation, sculpture, photography, illustration and design. I come from the North East of Scotland and studied Photographic Electronic Media at Gray’s School of Art, graduating in 2010. Now based at Glasgow Sculpture Studios, I also work collaboratively with architects, designers, graphic artists + host workshops around Glasgow and the North East.
My work looks at areas of natural science, in particular geology, ecology, glaciology, and geothermal dynamics, in relation to global warming and our relationship to the rest of the natural world. I look at patterns of connectivity, strength and durability in the natural world as a metaphor for a long purview of time, community, and our part within broader environments. I am interested in particular in the way communities form, develop and bridge, and the ways can we adapt for sustainable living.
My installations and collaborations with architects and designers aim at creating sanctuary spaces in urban and rural contexts, for communal and individual reflection and activity. I am interested in the impact sustainable design and architecture can have in creating positive physical and mental and well-being, in terms of the effects and opportunities that our surroundings can generate, as well as the positive environmental, social and economic impacts of sustainable design.
I create meticulous hyper-detailed illustrative works, slowing down the drawing process to create emphasis on a consideration of time that extends beyond the here-and-now purview of our current economic and sociopolitical climate. I use graphite, an allotrope of carbon which which exists abundantly on a universal basis, to look at broad perspectives of time and place. These works explore systems and structures that exist at micro and macro scales across the natural world, examining strong and durable systems, taking inspiration for sustainable design, and as a metaphor for anthropological dynamics. My work explores, questions and addresses our social and environmental responsibility.
