For the John Watson Prize exhibition at Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, I presented a new body of work that takes the internet-phenomenon ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) as its point of departure. This project includes three new films and a limited edition book with writing by Emma Balkind and James Clegg.
In July 2013 I undertook a three week residency at Hospitalfield Arts working on initial research to be developed for my exhibition at Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in February 2014. The residency was funded by Creative Scotland’s Professional Development Programme.
As part of Leith Late and Embassy Annuale Festival 2013, 6000 Posters for Giants and Dwarfs was a configuration of video, 35mm slide, text and film works at Rhubaba Gallery and Studios.

“Can I see that?” (April 2013) was a one-day event at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop showing three works presented on all three floors of the building considering how film can operate as sculptural experience.
Triptych B (March 2013) was a new film work commissioned by Embassy Gallery and Modern Edinburgh Film School for Green Screen. It remixes a clip of someone stroking a bee into three interconnected found footage films about how tactile experience is learned, taught and shared.
Never Odd or Even (2013) subtitled ‘A formless monster of dismaying length, a rodent in a squirrel cage, going nowhere very rapidly and very tediously, and ending up exactly where we started.’ was a performance lecture for !!Project Wakaka! in collaboration with poet Iain Morrison.
Ova and Ova (2012) is a youtube collage that revels in people experiencing physical pleasure in material engagement with our world, and titters at the associated revulsion from the gooey slippery nature of the building blocks of life. It takes the ‘how to’ video and gives youtubers the centre stage in all their instructive, quirky and mundane genius.
