Exodus by Juliana Capes at Cupar Arts Festival an installation of umbrellas breaching the divide of inside/ outside, swarming to escape, taking flight. Juliana with this art work has again created a very bright colourful installation of flight.

"Objects carry much significance, attracting bravado or anxiety. They have the potential to effect human reactions to a space. In Exodus a flock of lost umbrellas is spanning a threshold, crossing a boundary, moving en masse to escape the curse upon those who open indoors. Inspired by scenes of mass human migrations, Exodus explores ideas of  curse and choice using the symbolism,repetition and form to invoke movement."    Juliana Capes

I managed to get through to Edinburgh and catch the last day of The Hidden Door's Festival with my daughter and catch a little bit more of the Edinburgh College of Art Degree show which is on until Sunday the 7th of June.

In the warren of disused buildings at 'Hidden Door' there were many delights waiting to be discovered and some I hope to share with you.'Loveletters' is a joyous and colourful installation by Juliana Capes at The Hidden Door Festival in Edinburgh.

 “Unrequited love letters. A flock of hand made watercolour dyed paper aeroplanes, appearing weightless and drifting, as if caught in flight. Their stillness resembling a moment of perfect sunset. Romance. A sculpture characterised by pattern and colour rather than mass or heaviness – so much so it’s often been described as painting in space.” Juliana Capes
