'Archetypes' solo exhibition at The Scottish Gallery (Edinburgh, UK)
Titled ‘Archetypes’, this series of works explores “a study of character through form, born out of a fascination with the natural tendency to imbue vessels with qualities that conjure mythological and deeply human archetypes."
The collection will consist mostly of green Oak turned pieces that have been patinated to achieve an aged and weathered appearance, including some of the largest vessels we have created to date.
