‘hot violet in soul’ I’ve written in my notebook, alongside a drawing of greeny-gold wash and pink dots. We connect through fluids, through song, through the hands of men. I made a drawing of a babe hanging in a tree like a pendulous seed. In my studio the babe turns away from us, the tree […]

Notes in May: memories of Outer Hebrides, a morning at Tremenheere
I gaze out the window to see white swelling sheets and pale lilies. Schubert’s song Winterreisse wraps my head, like the beauty of the natural world which wraps my head in dream. Rain has washed the moss from the roof, little soft islands of green lie forlornly on the concrete path. I remember I sat […]

Residency at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens 2016 – 2019
Beginning… The name ‘Tremenheere’ means place of the long stones. From the tall stones of Orkney to Carn Euny I’ve long been entranced by the spirit which emanates from these stones and the lands from which they grow. Calanais, Orkney Calanais, Orkney Last year I spent some time in the gardens […]
New work, oil, preparation for Iona notebooks…
Island Creature, oil on paper, 2016. Yesterday I worked with my friend Karen Lorenz to record readings from my fragmentary notes made whilst sitting on the white sands of Iona, or in the bosky light of St Oran’s Chapel. The readings are for a film Karen is making about my Iona works, due to […]
