Founded in 1826, the Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture champions art and architecture in Scotland. The Royal Scottish Academy Building makes up one half of The Scottish National Gallery - situated on Princes Street in the heart of Edinburgh - where it showcases selected works by prominent artists and architects from Scotland and beyond.
I have been fortunate to have had my work selected for exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy on various occasions. These exhibitions are listed below.

Inspired by my time building with bamboo in the Balinese jungle, this illustrative work provides an overview of bamboo's application within the built and natural environment - maintaining ecosystems by adopting an agroforestry farming approach, applying appropriate post-harvest treatment and creating sweeping structural forms that take advantage of this fast-growing grass's characteristics.
The illustration was intended to serve as both an introduction to bamboo as a building material and a glimpse into a unique subsection of the construction industry on the other side of the planet.
The work was selected for exhibition at The Scottish National Gallery as part of the Royal Scottish Academy's 198th Annual Exhibition - which ran from the 11th of May to the 16th of June 2024.
The exhibition was also convened in an online format, which is available to view here:

Seeking to further explore animation as a medium to communicate architectural concepts, I revisited my final year university project and put together an entry for the Royal Scottish Academy's 194th Annual Exhibition. Upon selection, COVID-19 ground the country to a halt. However, the gallery staff worked hard to ensure that the exhibition went ahead in an online format, with my entry being showcased alongside works from prominent Scottish offices.
This was the first time in the exhibition's 194-year history that the public were unable to see the selected works in person.
