Thank you to Kelly Robertson, Harriet Robertson and Merryn Johnson.


Installation of 'Murmur' at the Weaving Shed Gallery, Hillswick, Shetland
I’m grateful to pupils of Urafirth Primary School and happy to have spent research time collaborating with them. From beach bruck wanders for materials, drawing designs and experiments in how to make birds take flight, all contributed insightful ideas and outcomes.

I watched you taking flight, hoping for a full circle and a safe landing
