Research content:
The ambitious scale of Pyramid Selling at Tramway shows clearly that I have the abilities required to lead major programmes of research, managing quality, resources, budget and deadlines to ensure successful completion. A new version of Pyramid Selling was made to inaugurate the new space for the internationally renowned Drawing Room in London. This iteration included an ‘in conversation’ with Tom Morton (curator and associate editor Frieze magazine) and a discussion group led by independent curator Isobel Harbison based on themes in the work. The project was supported by a Creative Scotland 20K Quality Production Grant, which was complemented by a 3k award from the Henry Moore Foundation. Tramway is an international art-space which commissions, produces and presents contemporary arts projects. It is programmed and managed by Glasgow Life and supported by Creative Scotland as a foundation-funded organisation. The exhibition appeared in the Guardian Guide twice (Skye Sherwin, The Guardian, 25th April 2015 and Oliver Basciano. The Guardian, 15th January 2016) and received a five-star review in the Scotsman. I was featured on BBC Radio Scotland’s Culture Studio in an extensive interview about the project with Janice Forsyth, first broadcast Tuesday 28th April 2015.

N2 - Exhibition Dates: 23 April - 14 June 2015Venue: Tramway, GlasgowResearch context: Pyramid Selling drew on a number of starting points, including those of literature, and the world of commercial illustration and graphic design. This immersive installation was akin to walking into an illustration: a strange, roughly rendered world variously populated by an array of absurdist characters. On show were a crew of line-drawn folk, perhaps recalling New Yorker cartoons or Quentin Blake sketches, scaled up as Jesmonite-and-steel cut-outs, incongruously surrounded by monstrously large sculptural red zips. External allusions to literature and theatre abounded, but I wanted to lift the viewer from the constraints of our world and plop them down into the anarchic space of drawing, with its boundless possibilities of scale and form.
