biography
My practice based research is a response to the current crisis of identity and climate engendered by the impact of the rise of technology. Through an expanded painting practice that involves film, drawing and sculpture, I use play, humour and reimagining to create a fictional world that could be described as a foreboding or a lament.
I have exhibited nationally and internationally. My experimental film work has been premiered at International Competition including Oberhausen Short Film Festival and Go Short. Recent Solo exhibitions include 'more than a feeling, Beacon Arts Centre (2025), SALTHOUSE (2024), Garnethill Gallery, GSA, and 'titbits' also Glasgow (2023). I regularly collaborate with performance and theatre makers and have curated exhibitions and events (see beggarsteeth.com). My site-specific sculpture 'Green Man' is located in Glasgow's Necropolis. Recent publications include a book of drawings 'INSIDE JOB, Memories of an Art School'.
