His art often takes form in painting, sculpture and installation. His work often references modern architecture and how we all interact with city’s , public spaces and its influence on our culture. I caught up with Toby to talk growing up and skateboarding in Glasgow, being an artists during COVID and the importance of free pubic space , Livingston skate park and John Cardiel. Every time I have a conversation with Toby I feel inspired and his curiosity and passion is infectious. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
