NEW WORK

Alexandria Sculpture Visit

I visited the vale of leven academy on the trail of a rumour  -  it was the site of one of Benno Schotz's last commissions. Expecting portraits or something similar, for which he was famous, the work turned out to be a very large and ethereal abstract welded bronze sculpture formation!

Grace & Clarke Fyfe Gallery

More photos of work from my group show . Bronze patinated plaster & Aluminium drawings. Since the show, all pieces have been purchased by private clients.

University of Alberta

Today I visited the University of Alberta with my brother Callum, who is 17 and looking to apply for a general arts course. After passing through the Law building we headed straight to the Art & Design department and i grabbed a few photos of some really interesting work! Outside the faculty in a large sculpture garden and clustered round the building, was a multitude of welded abstract forms which were really impressive in their sheer scale! Also on display were a small number of portrait busts and figurative sculpture cast in bronze.

An alumni exhibition by Nika Blasser  was being held, which i really enjoyed and was more similar to the kind of work coming out of the Glasgow School of Art. The exhibition as a whole had a definite air of ephemeral fragility which was quite beautiful, my favourite work was Frost Garden II, salt and Prussian blue on somerset (4 feet x 6 feet)

Excerpt of Nika's artist statement:

I would like my works to provide an environment of reflection, in a manner that addresses the transference of time and moments of poetic clarity revealed by the abstract movements of nature. What can we see when the white noise of technology is returned to nature as an extension of, and a new apparatus for, sight? What is the new sublime of our era?

Christmas in Canada

Wishing everyone the very best this holiday season. I will be spending time visiting family in Canada, returning to Glasgow early in the new year! Merry Christmas! X

Winter Festival

On the 1st & 2nd Dec I was at the Helensburgh Winter Festival! It was extremely busy and I gave out a ton of business cards and made some great sales. I don't usually do stall events but I live in the town and thought it would be fun to represent my business. Thanks Helensburgh!

Oxfam

I donated a sculpture to the Scottish Circle art show hosted at the Wilson Davis gallery. The show runs for two weeks, go check it out if you can :)

Medals Project B.A.M.S.

So excited to be taking part this year!

Finishing Touches

A quick break from figurative sculpture, I thought it would be really enjoyable to come out with my own range of Bespoke Christmas Decorations this year. I'm planning to make several different designs out of stoneware clay and have them fired and glazed or hand painted. An ideal small gift for family or friends. Absolutely loving making these, it's really fun!

They can be bought on my online shop HERE

New Business Cards!

Picked up a couple hundred this morning. Great quality, Shoutout to MOO printing. Fresh!!
