Crichton

I trained as an artist later in life, having discovered creativity as a way to find meaning and navigate the uncertainties of existence. My work explores our hopes, fears, choices, chances and sense of identity. Working with a variety of media, I seek to inspire others to step out beyond what they know for certain. I am excited by opportunities to create liminal spaces where for a short time perhaps the unimaginable becomes possible.

Location: St Andrews,

Materials: Assemblage, Found, Objects
