Visual Art Preview: https://hiddendoorarts.org/visual-art-preview-hidden-door-2022/
From the 9 – 18 of June, Hidden Door will be filling the Old Royal High School with a wide range of visual art, much of which will be created in response to the building and its history, as well as exploring themes of identity and place. The exhibitions will span a variety of disciplines, showcasing work from recent graduates and established artists from Edinburgh and beyond.
“My recent body of work documents sentimental connections held to transient space. A series of paintings that document the emotional attachments made to some of my short-lived homes over the last few years. I use painting to help navigate the stretchy feeling of time and the collapse of these memories within the dynamics of change. Thoughts, photos and keepsakes sit on the surface of these images, material often rendered in a trompe l’œil style to sit partially detached from the recollected image. I aim to share the combination of expectation, reality and reflection through the lens of messy nostalgia-fueled brain clutter.“
