My artistic and literary practice incorporates poetry with the complementary arts of printmaking, letterpress, bookbinding, typography, papermaking, and chine-collé to present my literary texts, images, and abstract geometric drawings in an exact and compelling tactile visual form.
The environment, the home of the text, is critical. Likewise, typography ~ how the text resides upon the page ~ is crucial. Resisting uniformity of design each published title is hand-crafted and intuitively considered to achieve an equilibrium of artistic form and literary content.
In 2014, I established Entropie Books to enable the unique design and publication of my artist books, prints, and pamphlets. Work is exhibited by Visual Arts Scotland, Royal Scottish Academy, Meffan Museum, St Andrews University, and Edinburgh College of Art. I am recipient of literary & artistic awards, including the Meffan Institute Purchase Prize for The Word Itself is a Musical Sound.
