Issues of Human Complexity

My work combines drawing, printmaking, photography and installation to create works of art exploring issues of human complexity. I am intrigued by the scientific process in which intense investigation of minute subunits is integral to understanding the whole picture. I produce images resembling internal structural systems, as viewed through a sort of magnifying lense, revealing layers of damage, growth, repair, and re-growth.

Still Light Series

My multi-layered screenprints explore the ephemeral qualities of light and glass. I enjoy the unpredictability that comes when creating images whose subject matter embodies an elusive physical nature. In one simple movement a new image can appear then in a split second it can disappear again. The interaction of darkness and light is intrinsic to my work and undoubtedly reflects the impact Scotland's northern light has had on my perceptions.
