About

From 2012 to 2020, I worked obsessively with machines. I treated them like collaborators, pushing their limits, misusing their settings and hoping to find a hint of humanity inside the code. I made work relentlessly, without pause, convinced that more was always needed. That period was about control and repetition, avoiding the act of feeling. After Covid, everything slowed. That absurdity became a fuel, and I started to let it bleed into the art and drawing became an intimacy.

In 2025, I began I want to be a tree, funded by Creative Scotland. I foraged bark and leaves around Juniper Green and the Pentland Hills, shredding and transforming them into new skin-like materials. The work moved outside: by the Water of Leith, up in the wind of the Pentlands. The trees changed how my hands moved.
