Morton Metropolis Summer 2010 www.mortonmetropolis.com

After a brilliant week in London working with Jo Lewis (www.jolewisart.com) we had a meeting with Serena Morton at Morton Metropolis, a gallery on Berners Street in central London. Serena is planning to hang our work in her Summer Exhibition which previews on the 28th July 2010. The exhibition then runs till 3rd September. Very very exciting!

This is an ongoing project with Jo Lewis, who I studied with at Leith School of Art. Since January 2010 we have been exchanging drawings in the post and generally communicating about our work. We are also working on proposals to find a space to exhibit the postal work and other work that develops out if this dialogue.

I will be exhibiting in Oban Mountain Rescue Post again this year. I am currently working on a new body of work for this and experimenting with some new directions and ideas. Part of the proceeds from this exhibition will go to Oban Mountain Rescue Team.

Crookedstane Residency: Documenting Change

This is a residency  to document the changes that are occuring due to the huge windfarm being built in this area. I am really excited about this opportunity as I feel it will push me to work in different ways and expand my horizons within my own work. Initial plans include creating a map of Crookedstane and following routes over a period of time to see how these are affected by the changes. More on this as the residency unfolds...

I have visited twice now and changes are afoot. Trees are already being felled and ideas gathering. It is a really interesting project and who knows where it may lead...

next visit planned for May 2010

Adventure Racing World Championships 2009

I was part of a four person team that went  to Portugal to take part in the Portugal XPD race, which was also the Adventure Racing World Championships.

The Outer Hebrides

In early July 2009 I spent ten days in the Outer Hebrides, starting on Barra and Vatersay and working my way through the Uists and up on to Harris and Lewis. The first few days were spent running about in the hills with Philip and Canna, then I settled down to drawing and painting for the rest of the time. I had taken a set of watercolours with me and enjoyed the immediacy and freshness of drawing with the paint. It was good to finally get the time to visit all the galleries and studios on the East of Harris and to purchase a beautiful bowl from Borgh Pottery in NW Lewis.
