Open Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th 11am-6pm
Greer is a Scottish visual and social artist. A graduate from Edinburgh College Of Art, her practice explores human intimacy and states of connection with nature. She is curious about creative play, life and death cycles, rituals, food and ecstatic experience, bordered by colours and shapes that can often refer us to the infantile and feminine.
She works with collage, painting, tactile sculpture and text. Her work is material led and ranges from detailed linear graphic work to bold bright expansive cut out forms. Her colourful palette embodies the exotic, taking enrichment from many years living and working in Mexico and through cultural exchanges in Europe, Africa and the US.
For this residency Greer will be focusing on developing some large tissue paper and gel cutouts - building window based surprises and layers in an interaction between inside and outside spaces, playing with the effects of light, glass and colour.
Kids free drop-in workshops
Sat 18th & Sun 19th 2-4pm
Greer will be inviting participants to join her in making their own tissue paper window kites - to connect their outsides to their insides with special symbols and forms. Young people are invited to join her in the 1st weekend of Open Studios for free drop in workshops. Materials provided.
