This exhibition brings together four Edinburgh based artists whose work
reflects concepts of place. Using a range of media from textiles and digital
technology to photography and bookmaking, they each explore diverse
interpretations of the theme; from hierarchy, personal space and physicality
to location.
The artists works include fabric pieces inspired by a fascination with both
the internal and external intricacies of the body, a replica of the ‘world’s
longest traffic jam’ referring to the constant re-presentation &
glorification of banal information, handmade books and flyposters listing
school rules and punishments which explore the paranoid atmosphere and
strictly controlled structure of a private boarding school and billboard
sized digital prints of holiday makers which look at the reality of ‘getting
away from it all’.
