The output stems from a fundamental interest in the Natural Sciences and the often paradoxical relationship between Art, Nature and Science. The work derives from a broad research base that includes the history of technology and invention, archaic astronomy, geometric symbolism and drawing as a visual science. In particular the influence man has had on the landscape from the Mesolithic era to the Industrial Revolution.

The Machars abounds in the historic evidence of human activity, ranging from standing stones to the remnants of industrial development, mining, military activity, transport and trade.

Since moving to the region and working freelance as opposed to full-time within academic institutions, I can devote more time to the latter investigations. Photography is now included in the portfolio. Written notes and map orientations are gradually developing into a publication. Watch this space!

Design and commission work ranges from urban steelwork, public timepieces, automata, special effects for TV and film, historical replications and environmental low technology consultation, university, college and school lectures / workshops undertaken.

I exhibit and have work in private, corporate and public collections in the UK, Europe and the United States.

Enquiries from curators and commissioning agencies: a full CV is available.

Visitors are welcome, but with at least three days notice, and if possible an indication of which aspect of the work is of interest.

The images show samples of the scope of the work, including wall-based pieces, reliefs, sculpture, automata, photography and commissioned work. Prices are from £185.00 upwards.
