landscapes
as beginnings
My work evolves through close consideration of landscape contexts and images. These provide starting points for me to look, ask questions, consider and generate contemporary art practice from. I work mainly outside, exploring a space first and then creating work from what I find.
Demarco's
Scakeraw project
For this project I explored the ancient geological site on the East coast of Scotland, called Skateraw. I made drawings in dialogue with the ancient rocks. See the work here
Geddes Garden
Patrick Geddes's 19th Century pocket garden in Edinburgh became a site of investigation and making for me. I researched the origins of the garden and explored Geddes's theories of social, cultural and environmental improvement through the integration of green spaces into cities. I regenerated the garden according to Geddes's original vision through a series of art works which you can see here
