I am a Fine Artist currently working and living in Dundee, Scotland.
My work deals with the recurring themes of memory, family, sense of self, alienation and our obsession with technology. I use a variety of materials and methodologies in my work but mainly focus on printing, text and fabric constructions.
I don’t know if you’ll be aware, but there was a bit of big news in the world of Josh Moir recently. I was successful in being awarded a proposal with Creative Dundee. The project is called ‘The Full Picture’ and me and three other artists are going to be looking at the barriers to […]
