Bio

My practice explores connections between the human and nonhuman through examining processes of community building, societal structures, and relationships to the land.

When we consider isolated communities and landscapes, to what extent is the isolation imagined? Empty places often hold invisible layers and there is no longer anywhere on earth that has remained untouched by man. My body of work is inspired by shifting social concepts of remoteness, barren landscapes, and the strange things that can transpire in these spaces.

Achosnich/ Neighbours

Sound piece and collaboration, 15 min.

Building community through music and reinterpreting tradition. 

 

My grandfather, Iain Peterson, composed a song inspired by Achosnich. Working with my friends and neighbours, we discussed how this place has been interpreted through music and recreated the composition in our own styles.

Built to house the sound piece Neighbours, this bus shelter is inspired by similar shelters on the Isle of Lewis, designed to protect commuters from the wind no matter what direction it is blowing.
