Lives and works in Glasgow
My work being concerned with hauntology, is physically manifested through objects and set-like spaces that allow viewers to seek and inhabit them. They provide an invitation to find traces, and embedded references of popular culture acting as here-and-now spaces to explore, whilst suggesting a history or a narrative that may have passed. I work predominately in sculpture, installation, film and print. My recent work enquires how tropes of theatrical and cinematic history can be accessed through sculptural forms.
