Dumbarton<\/a> rock which is the remnant of a volcano, and is a big part of the formation of the land as we see it today.\n<\/p>\n\n \u201cThere are landscape elements within my work but it\u2019s not a standard representation of landscape.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe Beacon is such a lovely space.”\n<\/p>\n

\n One of Daisy\u2019s creations, The Yellow Bunker, is on show at The Wyllieum.\n<\/p>\n
\n The structure is inspired by a book called \u2018The Public and The Bomb\u2019, written in 1981 by her grandfather Major General Frank Richardson, and by the Edwin Morgan poem \u2018Theory of the Earth\u2019.\n<\/p>\n
\n Daisy said: \u201cIt\u2019s the model of the interior structure of what would be underground.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI made it from fabric and wood, and the markings from the creation of it are still there.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI want it to look like it\u2019s something that\u2019s human and handmade, to show the fragility of the people sheltering in the bunkers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Daisy grew up in Comrie in the southern Highlands and gained a Bachelor of Arts at Glasgow School of Art.\n<\/p>\n
\n After she graduated, she took a space in Glasgow Independent Studio in Trongate before moving to London where she gained her Master of Arts at the Royal College of Art.\n<\/p>\n

\n She said growing up in Comrie which is on the Highland Boundary Fault and experiences small-scale earthquakes, made her think about our connection to the earth.\n<\/p>\n
\n Daisy added: \u201cI could hear the odd bang and I was always aware of things moving around.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The Glasgow-based artist will be giving a talk about the exhibition on February 4.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said she hopes her art can be enjoyed on a lot of different levels.\n<\/p>\n
\n Daisy added: \u201cPeople are usually quite intrigued by my work.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cSome of it can be a bit difficult to read but I always have titles that can help people to find a way in.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cPeople can approach the pieces from a purely aesthetic point of view but there are layers and layers.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cYou don\u2019t need to know everything about them to enjoy them.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
