My interest in Burns is longstanding and the series of multi-referential artworks discussed below are concerned with the very process of looking, perceiving, and interpreting. Utilizing the unique fixed-point perspective of the camera, I record manipulated and constructed images in order to create elaborate narratives which meditate on numerous aspects of Scottish culture, identity and the human condition in the early 21st century. As Burns reflected through his art the world he inhabited, these works and words strive to reflect on a myriad of contemporary concerns.
