A collaborative exhibition with Alex Gross at Berlin's Infernoesque project room.
Into the Desert was based on a period of collaborative drawing while reminiscing about our USA road trip exhibition series. From these drawings we made a series of glass sculptures and a fuzzy white Swedish modernist habitat to place them in.
2009 was a busy year, so here is a selection of works made for more minor exhibitions, along with photographs of sculptures and drawings from the studio.
Four Solo exhibitions and an 11 week road trip across the USA.

Shown at Studio Project 9 at Market Gallery, Glasgow
Studio Project 9 was a four week residency at Market Gallery with a 9 day exhibition at the end. Over the four weeks I gradually made this flowering forest and centre piece sculpture.
This is a large series of works running from 2005 into 2006. The works all used a huge stock of redundant but working computers, gathered over the year. The series ended with an exhibition at Edinburgh's Embassy Gallery.
This artwork used Google as a tool to
highlight our associations between word and image.
Working from a list of around 70 words, Google's image search feature
was used to find the 20 most viewed images for each word, which
were appropriated to create 60 second slide show-style videos.
This project was initially presented as a video installation for
an exhibition in September/October 2004 at the G2 Gallery, Chicago
I started the Blank Sign as a performance
in February 2003. The premise was simple: holding a large blank
placard, I stood on Glasgow's busiest street for a regular period
of time (12-5) every day for a week. The artwork was a diary, which
detailed what people had thought the sign was about.
Since this initial performance, I have repeated the work, and taken
it do different cities (and countries). The method of presentation
has also varied, and encompasses book, sound, video and photography.
