Observational drawings made at a street corner in Musselburgh are embedded into handmade paper and allowed to accumulate over time, in exploration of the human and nonhuman communities implicated by future surface ponding in the area.

yellowcake, 2019 oil on canvas 760mm x 610mm
yellowcake (2019) is a work which I conceive of as a ‘dirty monochrome.’ Colour is used as material and as ‘matter’ to describe a hyperobject - a fragment or ‘part object’ - that forms part of a continuous field potentially extending indefinitely beyond the frame of the canvas.
The title of the work introduces narrative content, yellowcake (urania) being one of the few materialised instances of radiation.
