Solo 1 The Amateur Artist

Made this video for my degree show at Glasgow School of Art in 2001. I re-invented myself as an artist having worked all my life as a journalist.

Quite a shock to the system....no more boozy lunches and generous expenses, and of course the freebies.

My tutors went berserk when they first saw this piece. Once they had calmed down a bit it was suggested I made more work showing what I had learnt in my four years in art school.

That's the next video.
