Work developed during Hospitalfields interdisciplinary residency August 2015



I am really excited to be taking part in the interdisciplinary residency this August at Hospitalfield Arts where I will be taking time out to research and develop a new series of wall based works and reflecting on image making in relation to my sculptural practice. I am very much looking forward to meeting the other residents, It is a great opportunity to meet other creative practitioners and enjoy living and working in the historic house and grounds of Hospital fields. Click here to find out more about the other residents and here to read the Axixweb spotlight on Hospitalfield Arts and its role in promoting the arts both in Scotland and internationally.
This recent work was made possible by kind support from The Hope Scott Trust so I just wanted to say a big THANKYOU for supporting me and making this work possible.

It was fantastic to finally get these pieces installed in the sculpture park and the location is really incredible, a beautiful garden which slopes down into a sea loch with majestic mountains in the back ground.
It started off a pretty grey day in Grant park but luckily the sun came out in the afternoon in time for the fantastic Nathan Mansfield to take some brilliant photos. Bellow is the lovely Tony Hartley who helped me with the build. We are just discussing who had the right amount of muscle to get the structure upright.
I was also lucky enough to have help installing from Lyndsay Hyslop and Jamie Davidson who were great at lending me their discerning eyes and moral support!
It was a lovely moment when the digitally printed PVC arrived and I got to spread it all out on the studio floor and create a huge sky scape!
