'S e neach-ealain, seinneadair agus neach-rannsaiche a th' annam. I'm an artist, singer and researcher.
Tha na h-ealain lèirsinneach an ìre mhath cho cudromach ri com-pàirteachadh cruthachail dhomh, 's mi ag obair ri coimhearsnachdan sa Ghàidhealtachd agus nas fhaide air falbh. The visual arts and socially-engaged arts practice are equally important in my creative work, whether with communities in the Gàidhealtachd or further afield. 'S e tagradh m' obair gum bi conaltradh brìoghmhor, cruthachail aig a cridhe an còmhnaidh. My overarching aim is to place sensitive, creative dialogue at the heart of my work. Bha e na urram dhomh a bhith an sàs ann an CHARTS airson fiolm 7 mionaid fhoillseachadh, 's sinne a' comharrachadh #Colmcille1500. I was privileged to join CHARTS with a commision for a short film in celebration of #Colmcille1500.
Recent work has included my 30m documentary film 'Calman nan Loch' or 'The Dove of Lochs' (2022) and the Deerhide Maps Series, an ongoing exploration of the Gaelic landscape, inscribed on deerskins.
