His artwork ‘Tabernas Desert Run 2004’ featured a ride across the Tabernas desert in Spain on an electric bicycle, a work helped on its way by Ben Cooper of Glasgow bike shop, Kinetics.
The only waste product the vehicle produced was water, which he used to paint an illustration of a cactus.

The other nominees are Darren Almond, Jim Lambie and Gillian Carnegie. The winner will be announced on 5 December.
