I have been writing criticism in various forms for over two decades beginning with various student newspapers and magazines and gradually progressing to a number of national and international publications. Newspaper contributions have included The Scotsman, The Herald, Artwork, The Sunday Herald, Scotland on Sunday, The Sunday Times, The Independent while magazines and journals have included Ceramic Review, Northings, Ceramics: Art & Perception, Crafts, American Craft, Modern Painters, Art Review and Architects Journal.
Currently I write regularly on the visual arts for The Times
The work published here is a representative but by no means comprehensive selection of writing, predominantly on the visual arts.
