A year is enough time for the ground to shift significantly for me, but also for the medium. This blog is a good example. In the world of broadcasting images, even a well tended and … More 2014
The din of a festival rings in Edinburgh’s ears. 2014 roars by still. For the last three years I have watched the closing fireworks concert from the best seat in the house.

I am almost at the end of my current three week residency with Team Effort! in Glasgow’s southside. A residency is an exciting thing. It is business as usual really, but with a hard focus, and a hard deadline. Two things I sorely crave when I can focus on personal work. I have taken these 3 … More Artist Residence – Aloha Glasgow
