Solo exhibition at The Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock, 16.05.25-20.06.25.

Our lives, work and experiences are increasingly mediated – and distorted – by a digital world of images stripped of their materiality. As Julia Kristeva has noted, the modern age is one where history - and so memory – is both entirely absent and completely present; available in a constant stream at the push of a button and dislocated from our technologically-mediated lives entirely. In response to this I made a series of 10 paintings and 27 etchings where I fore front the tactile, the handmade and the intuitive following a Logic of Sensation (Deleuze). My subject-matter draws from the wanderings of the unconscious and subconscious, exploring the transient impressions of memories and dreams. In this research I have drawn upon the work of French artist-psychiatrist Fernand Deligny who identified the origins of technological society in dependency on “technique” – making with intent, control, consciousness.

My short film VENTILATOR was screened at the opening reception 24.05.25 and again during the Artist's talk and tour on 11.06.25.
