I have been producing water sculptures since my degree in sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art in 1998.
They are built to either reflect, like a mirror, that which is behind them (influenced by the still, dark lochs and the glens of Scotland) or to ripple and reflect those patterns onto the wall behind, making the wavelengths and the natural phenomena found in the combination of water, light (and music) visual.
