Alps
I now have a commute to school, driving over the Alps. Yes, indeed, the landscape between Voe and Aith really is known as the Alps, although they are not quite so high as the real thing. Or snowy, or so I thought, until one morning in May…
I kid you not, this was on the 11th of May, and the very same day there was glorious sunshine. There really are four seasons in a day in Shetland.
I trained in public art and design, specialising in ceramics, graduating from Chelsea College of Art in 1995. For over 20 years, I have been producing public realm works around the UK and internationally. In 2011, I launched an evolving project, The Ceramic House; my home, gallery, and a living work of art, which I am covering with permanent ceramic and glass installations. Every May, I curate exhibitions of international contemporary ceramics at The Ceramic House during the Brighton Festival. In addition to working on public and private architectural ceramic commissions, recently I have been developing large-scale ceramic installation pieces for exhibitions which have been exhibited nationally and internationally.
