The installation explores collective memory, folklore, and cultural inheritance, creating an atmospheric environment that encourages embodied encounters. It examines the relationship between humans, animals, and landscape through references to Scottish mythology and ancient forms of mark-making.

Using both natural and traditional materials are important to my practice. Ceramics has strong assoications to the earth, archaeology and material preservation across time. I am interested in how materials can hold traces of touch and process that feel that they carry memory and ancient history.Through the use of mythological symbols and material processes, reflects on the energy between land, history, and identity.

The installation of works are arranged to be experienced collectively, creating an environment where meaning is shaped through their relationships to each other and to the surrounding space.

The ‘wall heads’ are arranged to suggest presence and awareness, encouraging a quiet exchange that is not understood through modern human language, but through perception, instinct, and embodied experience.

Entering by passing through the hanging tapestries acting as a threshold, viewers are invited to navigate the installation through quiet and attentive observation, where meaning unfolds gradually through movement, spatial relationships, and sensory awareness.
