I love nature! I grew up in the Trossachs in Scotland and have always been surrounded by amazing landscapes, forests, bogs and midges! And I found it awe inspiring but it also made me ask lots of questions.
For example, why do sheep always looks like a sheep? How do animals have so many shapes but yet always make something that looks like them?
This curiosity led me to work with flies to see how they become the shape they are, and see if other animals do something similar.

My Typical Day: I sit in dark rooms and make movies of fly egg’s growing into magots.
