I’m currently researching a new moving image piece (provisionally entitled Home is where the heart is) that explores the formation of Scottish cities through a kaleidoscopic lens and a love of Glasgow.

I don’t yet know exactly what the final form or emphasis of focus will be, but I’m currently researching: 

• how the swell of urban populations aligned with the formation of the contemporary multinational corporations
• the East India Company
• the opium wars of the British empire
• the current international opium trade
• current experiences and approaches to (opioid derivative) addictions – both personal and institutional
• how Glasgow formed as a city
• kaleidoscopes (and their history)
• histories of working class resistance in Glasgow, past and present
• parks and green spaces in Glasgow

This piece is anchored in my ongoing commitment to a process of generating radical change around our collective relationship to land in Scotland.
