Created for the Mutual Members' Show at the Glue Factory in Glasgow, Glasgow Tan: 33 Salons takes a light-hearted look at the relationship between one of the UK's coldest cities and the desire for darker skin. The print portrays all 33 unique tanning salon brands available to the Glasgow public, exposed on to a sheet of tan coloured sugar paper through 24 hours of UV exposure.

Shown at Roy G. Bivolo alongside the work of Alec Mackenzie, this untitled installation reduces the basic functions of six Hewlett Packard travel printers, forced to print stretches of basic colour to the capacity of their ink cartridges. The resulting prints produced a rainbow of colour that bisected the gallery space.

Through a series of proposals I look to explore the evolution of redunant technology when brought into a redefined context. These drawings propose machines, objects and working practices that attempt to question the obsoleted and challenge their loss of purpose.

Machine documents the attempts of the artist/inventor; the creations which, whether successful in their output or not, define the process of creation. Their image seeks not to conclude their intentions but rather to invite the viewer to question their existence as objects.

Dead Spectrum: In Memoriam pays homage to a community of ZX Spectrum programmers who have died after devoting their lives to creating games and software for the revolutionary ZX Spectrum computer. Each of their portraits is loaded through the Spectrum's basic imaging system, embodying the programmers within the machine and resulting in a video monument to their work.

Scanner Dance looked to explore the Scanner Camera’s unique way of registering movement through its linear exposure process. Through timing the exposure at 1 minute 12 seconds, I danced in front of the lens to every song in my music collection that matched this duration, forcing the Scanner Camera to register this movement as abstract marks as the light passed over the head of the flatbed scanner.

Mother’s Lights is the first of a series of projects exploring the limitations of the home-made “Scanner Camera”; a digital imaging device created through the use of a Box Brownie as the focussing device and a modified flatbed scanner as a digital exposure unit. The Scanner Camera’s inability to register without a significant light source led me to recording the light sources directly, and in turn documenting all of the lights from my childhood home.
