I'm delighted to share that I'll be exhibiting in Without a Camera: 200 Years of Photography, 1826–2026, a touring exhibition presented by Studies in Photography and Space to Breathe to mark the 200th anniversary of photography.
The show brings together nine contemporary artists from across Europe and the Middle East — Angela Chalmers, Constanza Dessain, Nicolas Grospierre, Alexander Hamilton, Paul Kenny, Leena Nammari, Jo de Pear, Pia Östlund and myself — all working in the enduring tradition of cameraless photography. Through photograms, cyanotypes, direct impressions and experimental light-based processes, we explore photography beyond the lens: an art shaped by light, chemistry, time and material transformation.
The exhibition takes its inspiration from the very origins of the medium. In 1826, Nicéphore Niépce created what's widely recognised as the world's first permanent photograph using a process he called heliography, or "sun drawing." Two centuries on, Without a Camera reconnects with that pioneering spirit — and I'm honoured to be part of it. I'll be showing my work And So I Watch You From Afar #11.
Where and when to see it:
- Studies in Photography Gallery, Edinburgh — 26 June to 8 August 2026
- Space to Breathe, Bowhouse, Fife — 15 August to 6 September 2026, as part of the Summer 2026 Land & Sea programme
