Growing up in the Highlands of Scotland has clearly influenced my work. The large, unpopulated landscapes have made me very aware of space and how powerful it can be both physically and emotionally. What captivates me in the first instance is the power of these impressive and seemingly unchanging spaces. But underlying that is an awareness of the intricate and delicate balance between the diverse elements that contribute to the overall structure of that view. It is this relationship between the 'big picture' and minute details that informs the development of my work.

My work is primarily an investigation of space. My sculptures and installations are large and ambitious works that make use of a variety of media. Their scale and content require the viewer to enter into a relationship with the space that the pieces occupy, both physically and psychologically. Although my print-work is two-dimensional; in its scale and process, there is a similarly keen appreciation of the use of space and its effect on the viewer.
