Alastair Cook Plus
As an artist I work predominantly with lens-based media: as an analogue photographer concentrating on antique photographic technologies and as a filmmaker using 8mm and 16mm film, combining these with digital technology to great effect. My award winning film and photography is rooted in place and the intrinsic connections between people, land and the sea.
I trained at the Glasgow School of Art then fled the country, returning after a dutiful spell in London and a more relaxed time in Amsterdam; I now live and work in Edinburgh.
“Filmpoem embodies the forward-looking, multidisciplinary nature of the current Scottish poetry scene."
