About The Artwork
Collage of fisherman's map dated 1968 with acrylic paint on acid-free tissue paper, mounted on the inside cover of a hardback book. The map is of Edrachillis bay in Sutherland on the north-west coast of Scotland. The numbers scattered throughout the map relate to the depth at that point. The vertical line on the right is an oft-unfolded crease in the map. The pattern marks my love of the endless sight of the sea. The collage has been treated to archival standards to preserve the colours of the paper. The book cover has been sealed with acid-free PVA and Golden Gac 100. The collage has been created on acid-free card to provide physical separation from the book cover itself. The paper has been coated on both sides with Golden soft gel medium and protected with a coat of Golden UV matte varnish. The cover is from the 'The Ship Captain's Medical Guide' from 1967. The map looks like it was consulted frequently, and fortunately the book does not. Signed on the reverse with description and title.

United Kingdom
You’ll usually see me thinking about composition, playing with pattern and testing spatial relationships, that sort of thing. As for anything else I think about how it affects all the above. I enjoy looking for unlikely structures and trying out fleeting interractions. The question of balance is never far away. When it comes to meaning, the torn and faded materials in my collages show where man has been. I suppose everything reflects an unidealised view of humanity. But I’m also attracted to the opposite, the wide expanses of nature (especially the sea) where there’s not much humanity at all. My influences may not be apparent… I keep coming back to Cézanne and Matisse.
