Public sculpture commission for Midlothian Council at Danderhall Community Hub. Produced with help from the children at Danderhall Primary School.
This research and community-led project was heavily influenced by the town’s mining history. Engagement was led by a desire to encourage the current generation of young people to consider their own chapter in that history, in what is a rapidly changing societal landscape.

Public sculpture commission for NHS Lothian at East Lothian Community Hospital. Part of a series of sculptures that function as physical rehabilitation aides.
This part of the overall commission at ELCH was to cater for patients at a more advanced stage of physical rehab, focusing on balance and jumping. The beams were set at varying heights and angles of inclination to provide a range of challenges and goals. The concrete blocks were of the same proportions as the plyometric boxes used in the gym inside the hospital.

Public sculpture commission for NHS Lothian at East Lothian Community Hospital. Part of a series of sculptures that function as physical rehabilitation aides.
This part of the overall commission at ELCH was to cater for patients at the second phase of physical rehab. the concrete edging was set into the landscape to provide an increasing step-height, with the bollards on top giving opportunity for increasingly complex dodging and weaving exercises. Again, the materials and dimensions used were chosen to mimic those patients may encounter on their return to life outside of a care setting.

Sculptural commission for East Dunbartonshire Leisure Council. A community research-led project on the theme of ‘water’. This work was the result of an exploration into the industrial heritage of the town of Milngavie’s river Allander.
This series of waymarkers feature the names of 6 everyday women who worked in various local industries along the Allander water. The vernacular cottage-shaped sandstone tops are a subtle reference to the material that was quarried here to build the early homes for the mill workers.
