Kate Black

 

Images from Kate Black's first solo exhibition; 'The Women of the Parish' 2025 at The Scottish Gallery. I made it into Edinburgh last week and remembered to see Kate Black's exhibition which I have to say made me laugh out loud,  especially the last one in this post. The naive and humorous images are just fab, beautifully collaged and imagined. It finishes this week so if you are in or around Edinburgh please take the time to catch it. 

Emily Sutton

Emily Sutton produces largewatercolour illustrations with incredible decorative detail and a feeling of nostalgia beyond her years. The images above are from an alphabet series of screenprints. Emily has work on display at The Scottish Gallery until November the 25th

Stuart Cairns

Last night I managed to get through the fog to The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh to see some of Stuart Cairns work as part of 'The Irish Connection' exhibition, which is a group show selected from the Design and Crafts Council of Ireland's critical selection for 2015/16. I have been following Stuarts Cairns work for a number of years now. Stuart delights in nature and fragile beauties that present themselves to him on his walks are vital to his photography, sketches, jewelry and sculpture.
These gathered fragments of flora are part of a series of three dimensional drawings exploring what makes an object complete. One of the things that adds to their power is the beautiful shadows that amplify the forms and their poetry.
