About The Artwork
Collage of vintage paper from the 1960s with acrylic paint and acrylic marker, mounted on the inside cover of a hardback book. The 'glorious twelfth' of August is the start of the grouse season in Scotland. This was the date my parents firstborn arrived and it is how we have referred to his birthday ever since. A picture title that means something else. Birth for new parents, celebration and a scottish rose over it all. 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 book 'Selections of French Prose and Verse Illustrating the Romantic Movement" by Alfred T. Baker (1923). 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.
