"All Weathers" was conceived as a project in 2024 as a work in progress, made in participation with Dunbar Harbour Trust. The colourful panels document the lives of people working within the Harbour community going about their business. I make use of an abundance of technological techniques to create digitally collaged prints on aluminium panels. These are designed to withstand the Dunbar's harsh weather conditions and offer a contemporary response to the sepia tones of the magnificent early postcards and portraits of Dunbar Fishermen by Francis Sanson (c.1900).

Additional experiences: McArthur's Store is believed to be the oldest industrial building still in use for its original purpose in Scotland. It sits between Old Harbour (Cromwell Harbour) and Broadhaven. The history of the harbours is all around you and described on boards dotted around the harbour walls
