FlowerField 1995 - 3 screen projected interactive environment with talking flower sculptures.

 FlowerField was first shown in The Tate Gallery, Liverpool and has toured to The Ferens Gallery in Hull and The Laing Gallery in Newcastle. An Adaption, "Skies over FlowerField" was made for 'Electronically Yours' in 1998 for Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.

 Inspired by the smallest of things.

 "FlowerField" and "Skies over Flowerfield" were partly inspired by computer games, mindless acts of violence and an innocent deserted beach walk close to my home in Scotland. Part of the sky backgrounds were in fact recorded on Kinshaldy Beach where on a late summer afternoon several NATO jet fighters were practicing dog-fighting. Even the sand beneath my feet began to vibrate with the roar of the jet engines. A vast pine forest stretched out on one horizon, the sea on the other, miles of sand in between and a hemisphere of sky above. The whole thing was incredible, a bizarre colossal performance, a private display of human achievement. My usual anxiety caused by the cold onshore wind, the waves hitting the beach was replaced and destroyed somewhat dramatically.
Several minutes later I noticed dragonflies struggling to fly against the wind, almost colliding and darting in the air. Suddenly the supersonic disturbance in my ears stopped. My mind focused on The Size of Things. The dragon flies, the natural beauty of their wings, their fragility and the silence.
I was caught in this silence surrounded by an omnipresent din; a complete distraction; a distraction transferred to a fascination for this microcosm.
