Sarah Sanford An exhibition of drawings, installation and 14 large-scale, multi-layered screenprints. Sarah’s ethereal and abstract images combine photography and drawing with medical and clinical sources to explore the inner structures and spaces of the human body. This suite of works is inspired by reflected light: My flat is full of windows containing old warped glass that projects patterns of light onto surfaces. Often, the patterns resemble forms present in the natural world, i.e. molecular, cellular or anatomical architecture. Accompanying this exhibition is a short documentary film that will be showing for the duration of the exhibition and gives an insight into Sarah’s work. Produced and directed by filmmaker Eric Robinson during October-December 2005. The film contains interviews exploring the artist’s ideas and working practice and unique footage showing Sarah developing her prints in the studio at Edinburgh Printmakers. Robert Crozier This exhibition of 16 linocuts and 3 poems presents a humorous look at themes contrasting town and country. Some of the imagery is derived from the artist’s obsessive sketches made of people in and around the city of Edinburgh, driven from his desire to record human types, casual poses and modes of dress. In contrast, the other works are inspired by the plant life, open spaces and forests of the French countryside in Haute-Vienne where the artist spends part of the year. |
