陈列您的艺术作品给每天无数的访客观看

Art is how I relate to the world, observing, recording and interpreting what I see through the human filter that an artist is – it is up to the viewer to comment and find personal meaning.
There are common threads in my work regardless of medium. Wandering urban streets or country paths, Bury Market in Greater Manchester (“Café & Bridal” - see images) or the cattle show in a rural Scottish market town, I notice weird little things: arrangements of objects on the pavement, textures and colours formed by the peeling paint of neglected buildings, inscriptions on walls, numbers tattooed on the haunches of animals (“No. 49” - see images) - unexpected, sometimes beautiful, profound, pointless or stunningly mundane.
Photography requires heightened awareness and endurance, followed by instant action, like hunting.
Drawing and painting require more sustained involvement with an image as it forms over a period of time, like cooking.
I am always on the lookout for compelling images, inspired by whatever and whoever is around me; the urban or rural environment, people and the physical evidence they leave behind, are all equally fascinating. Right now, I'm drawing people (close friends and family) and studying livestock through photography, drawing and sound, for a region-wide exhibition supported by Gracefield Art Centre in Dumfries. It'll be in my new studio, which is part of a former creamery building, so cows will definitely play a major part...
