> STATEMENT

I am a new Bay Area transplant, recently arrived from Glasgow, where I completed my MFA (Glasgow School of Art). I have an extensive collection of my own art, and I aim to add to the bounty as soon as I can afford a bed (thus clearing the floor space for a makeshift studio). I am interested to see what innovation lurks in this West Coast culture.
