Exhibition: Scotland Road to Venice

Nightsong 1

I showed a single piece of work in a group show with the Proseed Collective at 24 Art Gallery, Edinburgh, from 1–14 June 2024.

The group was made up of artists showing at Palazzo Bembo for the Venice Biennale 2024, and we came together again in Leith for this exhibition.

Although difficult to represent in a photograph, my contribution was a giclée on canvas with silver leaf gilding. I made it in response to Nightsong, a piece for solo piccolo composed and performed by Carla Rees.

The work has since been bought by a collector. It feels significant because it marks the beginning of a body of work based on responding to musical performances.

I think this strand will go places. This post might be the start of something much larger.
