You'll see I have a page for Turner Prize-winning artist Douglas Gordon. In addition to working with Douglas on several projects in Berlin, Scotland and remotely in Australia, I also run his social media and designed and maintain his website douglasgordonart.com Have a look at some of our collaborations by clicking on Artists and Exhibitions above.
​
There are also pages in the above menu for late artists Klaus Kastberg and Anni Kastberg who made stunning artworks and lived such a full life starting in Denmark and ending in Australia. You’ll see I produced a few videos of Klaus’s work and also a book and video showcasing Anni’s works.
​
I'm no stranger to the arts, having worked in Film and Television since 1999 as an Art Director and Art Coordinator on some large productions. I've also been a professional songwriter and musician for many years and won a few accolades along the way, my music name is John Harley Weston.
​
In 2014, after being in Australia for 17 years, I thought it might be a good idea to visit family back in the auld country of Scotland.
​
My cousin, Turner Prize-winning artist, Douglas Gordon, said we should stay in his Glasgow residence, a beautiful old 4 storey sandstone building in the heart of the city. We also visited him in Berlin, where he now lives and works.
​
We grew up together as kids and now as adults with a deep foundation in the Arts, we just can't stop coming up with ideas.
​
Since then, I've been back 'home' for extended visits and Douglas and I have worked together on a few projects in Berlin, Glasgow, the Scottish Highlands and Australia.
