I am interested in landscape representation, and primarily use drawing and model making within my practice. Initially I was concerned with the idea that identity was bound up with our immediate environment, and the basis for my work was the Lake District where I was brought up, but has latterly been the urban environment of Glasgow where I now live. More recently my work has developed through considering how the physical processes involved in making 2-D and 3-D drawings of the landscape alternate between focussed awareness and dis-attention. Whilst I am interested in the practitioner's experience of the dialogue between the two as a kind of embodied thinking for the purpose of my theoretical research, these concerns were initially identified by questions raised in my practice, and continue to motivate my approach to making drawings about my environment. I have a complex appreciation of the environment I inhabit, and try to find ways of expressing a complexity which involves objective formulationsabout matters such as perspective, analysis of gradient, and route planning, as well as subjective appreciation of climate, weather, memory and the occasion of being there. Although I'm quite happy for the work to speak for itself, I can say that I've gone about making my drawings as a series of projects involving particular localities, in which I can experiment with drawing conventions used in art and architecture, as tools for logical and intuitive thinking. I observe quite closely how the work is made, and the connections I make during the process, and this takes my work in terms of process and subject matter further.
