Here are some pieces I did in 2011 for an exhibition at Hung Art Gallery, Inverness.

The theme was "more than tartan and shortbread" - two things that Scotland is often associated with. However there is more to Scotland than that.

For this exhibition I focused on Glasgow.

Most of the pieces have the new skyline of Glasgow layered on old city maps and informatics charts of Glasgow.  The old maps put Glasgow in a geographical context; it also paints a hazy picture of old Glasgow. But the skyline represents its new industrialized and urban side. The tartan represents Glasgow’s Scottish heritage and the skyline represents the present. The skyline illustrates cranes once used on ports; you can see new buildings and new icons of the city such as the Clyde Arc and Armadillo. Altogether the pieces are supposed to represent Glasgow’s past and present – “more than tartan and shortbread”.
