My practice includes video, sculpture, mixed media installations and collage with reference to the landforms and habitats of Scotland

I am a Scottish visual artist whose practice includes mixed media installations and artists moving image. My inspiration and research are embodied in the Scottish environment. Using connections with landscape, habitation and concepts of time and memory I explore how inner perceptions of the environment connect us to the external world.
