Stratigraphy (strəˈtɪɡrəfɪ )
Digging through the detritus like an unhinged archaeologist or treasure hunter. I collect the discarded objects and ephemera from the floors, cupboards and drawers. Old maps, architectural drawings, photographs, electrical components, mechanisms, rusted metal, boxes, glass, architectural salvage, broken plastics and wood. I collect everything.

I've been painting in oil for a change... New work inspired by my boiler installation at Hidden Door.
Found glass
Today I have been building this. Found glass, window frames painted with wax, discovered ephemera and projected negatives.... can't wait to exhibit at Hidden Door festival in May.....
been feeling green
Inspired by the squidgy mossy carpet in the dilapidated office block on King Stables Road I have made a start on these bits of found glass... only another 400 pieces to go and then to figure how to hang them. Ideas anyone?
Wednesday afternoon urban exploration....
Look what I found.... This box of treasures contains old photographs of Edinburgh's streets and roads in need of repairs through the 70's, 80's & 90's. Amazing find and exactly what I was looking for.... The universe really does provide.

Art is a battle and I've been fighting with this painting for 8 months now. It's been through so many stages and changed quite radically... looking back at the photographs I should have left it alone around three months ago... but then again that would have been to easy. Is it finished? Well I didn't leave the studio with a cloud over my head feeling like a failure and for the first time this month I don't completely hate it. I think I will pretend it's finished for a while before destroying and repeating the whole process again.
