This drawing is part of a series based on antennae for amateur radio. When I was working on my book manuscript, “The Clearing” (to be published by Little, Brown in March 2020), I was thinking and writing about how radio waves are essentially of the same nature as visible light, and how the electromagnetic spectrum reminds us that there is so much more to the natural world than our eyes can ever see. I was also thinking a lot about listening, and distance. That’s when I began to draw these antenna structures. Usually home-built, they capture wavelengths that are used by amateur radio enthusiasts. They also make me think about my father, who was a keen radio ‘HAM’. this drawing is on heavyweight artist quality Arches paper, and is unframed.

United Kingdom
I’m an artist and writer based in Orkney, an archipelago of windswept islands off the North of Scotland. My recent artwork employs a slow, contemplative process of drawing, building up a complex image through the repetition of simple motifs or marks, a working method that mirrors natural processes of growth and accretion. What emerges from this can resemble froth, surf, clouds or other naturally emergent forms such as mollusc shells, or plants. Recent work is increasingly influenced by the constant presence of the dynamic Orcadian weather and sea. In earlier work, I have also used photography, installation and video, and I have also undertaken several public art commissions, most recently a large scale mural for the new Balfour Hospital in Kirkwall.
