Loose Part Sculpture in the Gallery Space

Modelling the flexiblity of placing Loose part in sculpture in the gallery setting. This is based on the floorplan of Inverness Gallery.

Potential for Growth - I am really enjoying playing around and building with these bricks made from recycled materials.

Making with multiples - woollen gloves (Betty Johnson), cups, straws, plasticine.

Gloves knitted by Betty Johnson age 95.

Installation at Papermill Edinburgh

Dismantled Bed Installation

My mum died on 28 May 2025 and it has been important to use the gloves that she made as a material for working through her loss and memory. The sculptures were inspired by conversations with older people, clinging on to the last remaining bank on their high street. Their lives become increasingly overtaken by a virtual world and they fall beyond societal structures, losing their independence and agency

In the Outdoor Gallery nature is transforming the loops and helping to distinguish the seasons.

Taking loose parts sculpture into Performance

Taking the gallery to the kids and the kids to the gallery

I have learned so much from facilitating play opportunities for children over the years and it has been such a privilege to go back to my old primary school and film them playing and exploring my sculptural pieces that have been inspired by loose parts theory (Simon Nicholson, 1971). It feels so natural to be taking sculpture from the gallery and putting it into a school. It brings it alive in a different way. Film to be released on 6th June at the MSA Degree show.

Taking loose parts sculpture out into the community - Culloden Battlefield.

It has been really interesting to build up links with Culloden Battlefield through the loose parts sculpture. The sculpture has now 21 loose parts made from wood and bed struts and has enabled me to take up opportunities to take it out in the community. Members of the public are able to interact with the sculpture and see the loose parts sculpture move and change shape.
