Some themes which inform my life and work:

• Myths, dreams, goddesses, soil.
• Community and culture.
• The predicament of modernity’s destruction of environment and our responses to it – fear, grief, hope, love, humanity, rage.
• Place and land, our human disconnections and loss, and the stories that help us reconnect with the land we live on.
• The history of extraction – minerals, fossil fuels, land, bodies, species, culture – which has been the narrative of the global north.
• The paths I make with my walking.

In 2020 I was supported by Arts Council England to develop my creative practice. It happened under the umbrella title The Story of We and focussed on Social Dreaming as a process for uncovering a shared unconscious towards co-creation and collective dramaturgy.  You can read about that here.

I recently joined the board of Trustees of The Stove Network in Dumfries and am passionate about arts organisations that work to create a dynamic culture around place, community and creativity.
