Together | Apart is a mixed media exhibition by members of Neuk Collective, presented at Project Ability in Glasgow.

The exhibition brings together work by neurodivergent artists from across Scotland. It explores experiences of separation and connection – and the ways these can exist at the same time. Artists were invited to reflect on what it means to be both distinct and interwoven: separated by geography, but connected through shared experience, identity and community.

The exhibition includes a wide range of media, including textiles, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, video and sound. Each artist approaches the theme in their own way, creating a rich and varied exploration of belonging, distance, individuality and interdependence. Together | Apart is presented in collaboration with Project Ability, an organisation with decades of experience supporting and advocating for disabled artists. Neuk Collective is grateful to Project Ability for hosting the exhibition and supporting the project.

Common Ground; The Living Landscape

31st January 2026 – 10th May 2026

Kirkcudbright Galleries, Dumfries and Galloway

Opening times:
Tuesday – Saturday 10-4
and Sundays 11:30-4
Closed on Mondays

Common Ground; The Living Landscape is an exhibition that brings together artists and makers whose work speaks to our deep, evolving relationship with Scotland’s natural environment.

Scotland’s land carries stories of belonging and separation, of heritage and transformation, of deep time and fragile change. Through its rivers and coastlines, forests and moors, people have shaped the land and, in turn, been shaped by it. These connections run deep, interwoven with memory, ritual, and identity.

For our first exhibition of 2026 we have brought together artists and makers whose work responds to these depictions of living landscapes, inviting audiences to consider how creativity can reconnect us to nature in an era of climate uncertainty and cultural shifts. The exhibition celebrates practices that are both grounded in materiality and attuned to spirit: works made from the land, about the land, and in dialogue with the land.

On the Importance of Creativity in Troubled Times

Image: Eleanor Buffam, Through the Looking Glass II. Oil on canvas, 2016.

My essay: ‘On the Importance of Creativity in Troubled Times’ has just been published on Neuk Collective’s blog.

Creativity is not a luxury in times of crisis, but a vital force for connection, resistance and renewal.

This is my first paid writing commission and it was a pleasure to write about something very close to my heart. Please give it a read and let me know what you think.

Spring Statement (TAX THE RICH), variation 5

Cyanotype, acrylic, and embroidery on canvas, 36cm x 31cm framed (31cm x 26cm unframed).

I made this piece (and several similar pieces) in reaction to Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement earlier this year, in which she proposed to cut the money that disabled people need to survive rather than tax the rich. As I am disabled myself, and many of my friends are disabled, this issue is personal.


In my view, inequality is the single biggest driver of the permacrisis. Money in politics has led to lobbying against policies that would help the majority of the population. The richest 10% are responsible for half of global emissions. Houses being seen as investments rather than homes has led to a runaway property market which means that millions of people do not have a secure place to live. Water companies are diverting profits to shareholders rather than fixing infrastructure… and the list goes on.


Dandelions, for me, are highly symbolic. They are good for us, good for the soil, beautiful flowers, and yet they’re treated as the enemy by those who like their gardens sterile and manicured. Dandelions don’t give up though, they bloom through the cracks. They’re survivors. And they’re everywhere. Dandelions are like us, the people. The disabled, the struggling, the downtrodden, and all of us who feel that sacrificing the planet and its lifeforms is never justified in the race to increase profits. We persist despite the odds, and there are more of us than there are billionaires.

In Tension: Online Exhibition at Fife Contemporary

In Tension is an online exhibition produced in collaboration with 16 neurodivergent artists from Neuk Collective. Encapsulating the divide felt by many neurodivergent artists between multiple contradicting factors, the exhibition explores the balance between external pressures and the need to find space where a creative, neurodivergent brain can make work and flourish.

Spring Statement (TAX THE RICH)

There are so many gems to be found in this show and its sister show COLOUR. I recommend going to see the exhibition if you can! You can also see it online here.

Spring Statement (TAX THE RICH)

Cyanotype and acrylic on linen with found fabric and embroidery. 31cm x 36cm including frame.

This is my response to Rachel Reeves’ Spring Statement in which she proposed to claw money out of the hands of disabled people and some of the poorest in the country. A wealth tax makes a lot more sense, actually- and would be far less cruel.
