Lives and Works from Dunfermlime, Scotland
Originally from Norfolk, a coastal county in England’s south-east, inspired by many things – both retrospective and contemporary.
Influences include folky, harmonic and melodic musics of all kinds; the pastoral and folkloric delights of the countryside and the various eccentric beasts and humans that inhabit it; the joys of cycling; the stimulations of tea; the dizzy geometries of architecture and design – and overall the
wonders of making stuff.
