- Painting & Drawing

- Visual Arts
My practice includes painting, public art and installation. I am making work related to specific working class communities in Edinburgh and Midlothian, places I call home. Within these places of home, I am both an artist and a member of the community. It is very important for me that my work is embedded within the community and I have a socially engaged and inclusive creative placemaking practice.
I am especially interested in post extractive landscape and my ongoing research includes my own lived experience alongside research into wider community culture. My work is very strongly connected to geology and astronomy specific to place. Themes I explore in my work are concerned with commemoration and invisibility.
