Back on the Beach – Exhibition

I was invited by the Aberdeen City Council run Gallery 17, to hold an exhibition of my work relating the the North Sea oil industry as part of the 2013 Offshore Europe Energy Festival.

The exhibition brought together a body of my work that has been growing and developing for a number of years, it also showcased some previously unseen works. Bringing together photography, video and projection mapping the show was part of the 2013 Energy Festival, the festival was a program of cultural events to coincide with Offshore Europe 2013 organized by Aberdeen City Council and SPE Offshore Europe.

A book was also generated from the project with a copy of the film and book to be permanently housed within the library.

Landscape Past and Present – Along side Constable

I was invited to exhibit my work alongside that of John Constable as part of an exhibition entitled Landscape Past and Present.

There was an artists talk held on the 29th of May by myself and Nicola Williams hosted by Rachel Kennedy the curator of Duff House. This reflecting on our personnel response to the landscape within our work, relating this to the work on display and its relationship to the Constable painting.

Show consisted of work by painter Nicola Williams and myself at Duff House in Banff, which is hung as a contemporary counterpoint by The Vale of Dedham by legendary landscape painter John Constable. The show is part of the Coast Visual Arts Festival and is ran from the 28th of May until the end of June 2011.
