The Athole House Studio
Self-Isolation Artist Residency
30th March 2020 - 7th November 2021

​

Over my career I have taken part in many artist residencies in various parts of the world; I have even organised and run a residency program myself. 2020 has brought new challenges to us all, I however intend to treat these challenges as opportunities. With this in mind today, the first day of my self-isolation having arrived back from my studio in the Untied States last night, I I launch my new blog which will become an integral part of this website as I redesign is over the coming weeks.

Artist Residencies give artists the space and perhaps more importantly the time to make new work; I intend to treat my time in self-isolation in the same way that I would if I were on an artist residency in another studio in another part of the world. Athole House Studio maybe one of my home studios but for me it is a work space, and lets face it, we all now have the time.

As we begin to, hopefully, see that longed for light at the end of the tunnel, I am delighted to announce that work from The Self-Isolation Residency will be leaving the isolation of the studio to form the basis a new solo exhibition of my work in the art gallery of Dunoon Burgh Hall to mark it’s reopening after lockdown on 28th April 2021. If you can make it to Scotland it would be great to see you here, if not look out for a virtual visit to the exhibition online, more details to follow.

Just over one year ago I was forced to return to my studio in Dunoon, Scotland from the United States by the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown; thus, began the self-isolation residency. During my return flight I decided to treat this prolonged period of time, during which I have lived in enforced isolation, far from the ones I love and long to be with, as an opportunity to revaluate my practice and to create a new body of work based on the outcomes of said reflections found during my isolation.

These outcomes have been many and varied as I have explored myself and my motivations as an artist. They have included introspective self-portraits,  still-life paintings, both posed and found, which have explored the desiderata which I surround myself with and of course various forms of landscape paintings, both of the current landscape which I inhabit and perhaps more importantly the landscapes which have over the years come to inhabit me.
