Inspired by Travel & Place

Travels solo around the Scottish islands, across the Dogon country of  Mali, to India, the buttes and Canyons of South West US, the wastes and bush paintings of Namibia and latterly across parts of Peru and Ecuador taking me back into the recesses of my childhood memories. All these travels have led me from seeing and recording magnificent landscapes to those other aspects of a country that relate to its people:  other arts, other myths  so that  back in the meltpot of the studio I will attempt to extract some coherence, some order from the muddle of landscape, archaeology, the universal human activities of  myth making and pattern.
