the evolving praxis of my work as an artist exploring how to live in this world
These two clay sculptures, A Beautiful Question, are part of a project I undertook during my residency at Tidal Art Centre, 2024. The project is called Comraiche, which means Sanctuary in Scottish Gaelic.

Giving as a Way of Being:A Ceremonial Practice Exploring Life and Loss
Perhaps it is in the sacred act of letting go that creates an opening to the process of life as a giving…
it’s not the act of giving or what we give that makes the difference,
it's that we open ourselves up to
giving as a way of being
I began each day making a tiny earthenware offering vessel from materials of this place, filling its belly with nourishing food and giving the food as a daily offering to the ocean…
just begin with the intention, and act, of giving daily to the ocean waters
and see what happens
The daily ritual became an invocation of sorts that opened a way of engaging more deeply with my inner world and the spirit of this place.
