About
I am a graphic designer and visual artist currently based in Glasgow, working across graphic design, publishing, readymade objects and spatial installation. My practice is conceptual and research-driven, often exploring personal experience, public space, everyday observation and material form, as well as the ways they translate into one another and the boundaries between them.I see making as a method of research, observation and thinking. My work often begins with personal feelings and fragments of everyday life, translating these experiences into publications, posters, printed matter, objects and installations. Moving from individual experience towards broader spatial, cultural and communicative contexts, my work considers the shifting relationship between people and their surrounding environment.
Design is Action focuses on Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, using posters, letterpress and screen printing to bring its statement against torture and degrading treatment into public spaces. Through public display and hands-on printmaking, the project gives the declaration a material presence, making the act of printing part of the message. It explores how posters can turn human-rights language into something visible, physical and collectively shared.
