Together/Apart
Together/Apart is a set of books exploring the honesty - and lack of honesty - in relationships.
Gathering quotes from anonymous surveys has resulted in the range of answers given having one thing in common - the individual contemplating both their past and present relationships and being more honest with themselves as a result.
The majority of people discussed emotions that they perhaps could not share with their significant other. This was interesting because your partner is who you are supposed to be yourself around the most.
Together uses text from people talking about their current relationship and Apart reflects on failed relationships.
Editorials/Book Covers
Contextual illustrations, including my entries for the Penguin & Puffin 2012 design awards.
Floriography
Floriography is a book produced as a contemporary response to the Victorian-era means of communication known as the language of flowers.
This tongue-in-cheek guide has been produced as a means of flirtation and is intended to be given as a token of affection. It contains basic information about different flower meaningas as well as a selection of romantic poetry (to read aloud to your significant other). This guide also folds out to be an A3 poster.
Charting Relationships
Charting Relationships explores the subject of love on a deeper level, looking at the nature of time in a relationship and how ultimately our love is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Gathering anonymous data has resulted in a truthful cross section of relationships.
Looking at different methods of documentation has resulted in a range of outcomes - from the simple graphs which anyone can use to chart their relationships, to an ongoing personal project within which I plan to map out romantic relationships over the course of my life.
An Unspoken Offering
An Unspoken Offering is a series of prints inspired by the language used in Mills and Boon novels. These works explore silkscreen techniques to produce a range of distorted imagery.
The acts depicted in these prints are difficult to understand on first glance. This is to mimic the elusive language used in these novels which - when out of context - make little sense. When studied more closely, the visceral imagery used contrasts with the romantic language used.
Each print in this series is unique and has been produced using a range of different translucent inks and gloss along with additional mark making.
Prints
A selection of prints produced from 2011 onwards. I mainly work in silkscreen and lithography but also enjoy linocuts and monoprints.
More coming soon.
Medicinal Curiosities
Lithograph prints coloured with chine-collé made in response to a project set to promote the Tayside Medical History Museum. This is a series of six prints, each coloured slightly differently, two of which are now part of the University of Dundee museum collections and the Duncan of Jordanstone print archive. Also available for sale.
