INCREDIBLE DISTANCE
I am very fortunate to have multi media installation Incredible Distance hanging in 3 venues around Edinburgh between now and February. This projected was commissioned by SCO in partnership with W.H.A.L.E. The working with community participants, workshop leader Emma Smith, visual artist Ewan John and performers from SCO we have explored the heard reality of 24 hours in Westerhailes. In doing so we strived to find a way to explore 'a day in the life' of an area of considerable social challenges and deprivation, without the indignity of exposing our participants to the value-judgements they are so routinely subjected to by the state.

BURNS BRIGHT
I am delighted that Artisan Trio have included me in this bespoke event at the glorious location of Riddle's Court on The Royal Mile, Edinburgh. Artisan Trio will accompany rising star Hannah Rarity in the premiere performance of specially commissioned work by Nigel Osborne which explore the poetry of Robert Burn. Also on the programme is a revival of my Three Borders Songs, commissioned for The Borders Heritage Festival in 2017. Written in partnership with writer Jules Horne for Hannah and a trio from Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the three character songs conjure imagined feminine narratives for Bowhill House, Aikwood Tower and Abbortsford House. This will be a very special night of trademark Artisan magic. Please join us!
