Collage of vintage paper from the 1960s with acrylic paint and acrylic marker, mounted on the inside cover of a hardback book.

The 'glorious twelfth' of August is the start of the grouse season in Scotland. This was the date my parents firstborn arrived and it is how we have referred to his birthday ever since. A picture title that means something else. Birth for new parents, celebration and a scottish rose over it all.

The collage has been treated to archival standards to preserve the colours of the paper. The book cover has been sealed with acid-free PVA and Golden Gac 100. The collage has been created on acid-free card to provide physical separation from the book cover itself. The paper has been coated on both sides with Golden soft gel medium and protected with a coat of Golden UV matte varnish.

The cover is from the book 'Selections of French Prose and Verse Illustrating the Romantic Movement" by Alfred T. Baker (1923).

Signed on the reverse with description and title.

I am a mixed media artist born and raised in a small fishing village in the north of Scotland. I began as a professional photographer and ranged over other design roles in the real world and on the internet. Now my time is filled with rough paper collages and expressive mark-making. These pictures open up naive explorations of unlikely compositions and fleeting reactions, worked out with instinct and emotional thrusts. My technique juggles unforeseen juxtapositions with broken fragments, the whole coming together to achieve a precarious but satisfying complexity. The question of balance is always present. The torn and faded materials reflect the passage of time alongside a view of an imperfect humanity.

My influences may not be apparent… I keep coming back to Cézanne and Matisse.

All these works are made to archival standards on sealed wood. The paper is coated on both sides with Golden soft gel medium to preserve the colours and protected with UV varnish.
