About
Artist Statement
My sculpture and ‘re-collage’ are a brew of personal stories and research into the wilfully ignored. These explorations share otherwise forgotten stories from within my local town and closely related Scottish neighbourhoods. Outside their familiar context, I invite reflection upon the media available within, created by and pushed upon these communities.
