The internationally acclaimed Scottish sculptor, now based in Los Angeles, offers a rare behind-the-scenes view into a practice that has shaped public space across continents. Through original sketches, maquettes, construction photography, and select unbuilt projects, this intimate evening traces the lineage from studio study to monumental form. Hosted within a space that honors provenance and the discipline of craft, the event invites collectors, artists, and the Southern California art community to witness a moment where process and presence intersect.
