It's been a busy six months since I last posted on this blog and I have a backlog of projects to share. Amongst other things, I've been working on a third publication for the Edinburgh Art Festival for their 2016 commissions programme, More Lasting than Bronze. ‘Featuring new work by 7 artists working in Scotland and internationally, More Lasting than Bronze explores what or how we choose to publicly commemorate, through a diverse series of interventions and propositions, whether exploring new forms of monument, or reflecting on those things which we choose to forget (or forget to remember).’
Here's the proof of the cover, featuring an ‘eraser drawing’ by Jonathan Owen, which, I think, perfectly encapsulates the themes running through the commissions programme. The book is currently at the printers; I am looking forward to seeing the finished result, which should be ready for the opening of the Art Festival on 28 July. Fingers crossed!
