There has been an increasing number of small galleries and artist-run spaces emerging in Edinburgh recently. Superclub is one that definitely stands out. It's housed in an old garage/tyre depot that has been converted into a gallery upstairs and studio spaces down below. They put on exhibitions, bands, films and all sorts of other fun stuff. It’s a really exciting place. My studio is here.

One of the great things about Edinburgh is its abnormally large number of gardens and open spaces, including seven hills in and around it. A walk up this particular one on a sunny day is really pleasant. To the North you can see over the city to the sea and to the South you can see right in to the dark depths of the Scottish countryside.

He aims to humorously examine the sociopolitical context of consumption and celebrate community-driven values through lo-fi aesthetics. Although primarily a painter and bookmaker, his working outcomes often focus upon participatory, playful, and engaging installations. As well as this Alex also regularly takes part in artist book events throughout Scotland, exhibiting handmade zines, artist books and illustrative artwork, with one publication recently accessioned in the Tate Zine Collection.
