Self Portrait as a Pothead

A playful Photographic, Live Performance and Sculptural series exploring vessels, stillness and the human body. Initially produced on a funded residency at The Steeple in Newburgh, Fife.

The photographs I produced titled "Self Portrait as a Pothead - Red" and "Self Portrait as a Pothead-Blue" were exhibited at the RSA Open exhibition in 2017.  The work was awarded the Benno Schotz Prize for most promising work by an artist under 35.

Performance at “Pointlessly Long Undescriptive Title” exhibition in 2017.

Year: 2016-17
