About
Unfettered process
I’m a film maker and multi-disciplinary artist who lives and
works in Glasgow, Scotland.
So far, I’ve spent most of my professional life working as an
editor, cutting documentaries and dramas, for audiences
young and old. I specialise in storytelling, finding and
constructing narrative from the material provided. A
challenging, collaborative and commission driven creative
practice, it complements and supports my work as a visual
artist.

I use my art practice to explore how we, the human animal,
navigates reality. I’m curious about why we interpret and
respond the way we do and how this reflects our temporary
and fragile nature. Primarily an installation artist, the works
that occupy my spaces are made from a variety of materials;
paint, wax, plaster and metal. Carefully curated, I pare back
their display to a few bare elements, their shared features
inferring an inter-relationship, a connection. Intentionally
designed to arrest the attention as if arriving in an alien
land, I invite the viewer to engage in interpretation, to
seek understanding; an inquiry for a dialogue more than a
commentary.
And so, the audience experience is fundamental to my
practice as an artist and a filmmaker.
