I’m delighted to have one of my new Lewis inspired laser engraved prints selected for Our Shared World at Edinburgh Printmakers, which is on until 18 March.
The print I am exhibiting is called Brugh (Broch). This limited-edition, laser-engraved print depicts the Broch I see each day from my crofthouse window in the Outer Hebrides and forms part of a series examining how technology mediates our connection to memory and place. Captured on an iPhone and editioned using laser-cutting technology, the image nonetheless carries a sepia, almost Victorian quality, referencing the significance of Brochs within Scottish History and the Hebrides in particular. The image deliberately unsettles the viewer’s sense of time, blurring the boundaries between past and present. It is 32 x 23 cm framed in an oak frame and available to purchase from the exhibition for £240 framed, or you can purchase an unframed copy from me for £150 (with complimentary P & P).
Photo’s of photographs are not great, so the image used here is grainer than the actual print, which is on lovely off-white smooth Somerset paper.
Here is a bit more information about the exhibition:
Hung across Galleries 1 & 2 at Edinburgh Printmakers, Our Shared World invites Edinburgh Printmakers’ Studio Members to reflect on the world we live in individually and collectively, from a community committed to exploring how printmaking and the arts can promote understanding of how to be human in today’s world.
From shifting social, cultural, and economic landscapes to the physical and environmental impacts we have on the planet, the works in the exhibition explore the realities of co-existing with each other and with the places we occupy. From misspoken words to experiences of migration, important stories of our times are cut, etched, drawn and stitched through the medium of contemporary printmaking.
Spanning a range of mediums, including screenprinting, lithography, etching, relief and 3D mixed-media pieces, the exhibition includes work by 121 Studio Members working in the open access print studio at Edinburgh Printmakers.
