2009-2011
Fred

My father Fred died in May 2009. Fred Bushe OBE, RSA was at the forefront of modernist sculpture and set up the Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Aberdeenshire in the late 1970s. Fred’s ambition was to create a space where anyone, whether professional, a student or an amateur could make large scale sculpture within a supportive collaborative environment. But he was mostly my Dad and he had his demons. It took me until late 2009 to process how to deal with the loss and his presence and form started to appear in my drawings and paintings; a series of reimagined pictorial conversations between myself and my father.

2004
Hastings

I left Chichester in 2003 to re-establishing my art practice. I moved to the dynamic seafront of Hastings in East Sussex; a town full of colourful people and a new source of visual stimulus. I developed a preoccupation with the sensibilities and choreography of queuing, coupled with the quirky pagan rituals of this extraordinary seaside town. Everywhere you walk in Hastings you are confronted with the sea along with dramatic changes in height and scale.

1999-2003
Chichester

In 1999 I became Head of Fine Art at University College Chichester. I oversaw a new build for fine art, underwent a major quality assurance inspection and rewrote of the curriculum – but made virtually no art. Chichester is a wealthy city set between the beautiful South Downs and the English seaside coast. It is home to Pallant House Gallery, Chichester Festival Theatre and close to Goodwood Sculpture Park – so lots going on and it was an important experience. Ultimately, it was not the place for me and I left Chichester in 2003.
