For the last year I have been commissioned to document the design, build and installation of work by 4 artists for the new Royal Edinburgh Building at the REH. Juli Bolanos-Durman, Frances Priest, Kenneth Mackay and Laura Spring are working with different media, scale and locations around the building.
The commission is on going with visits to each studio to shoot portraits and work in progress, I’ll then be at the build and final install. Frances Priest has completed a ceramic art work with unique tiles she designed installed in the corridor ‘ The Tiled Corridor ‘ is for patients and staff between two hospital buildings, it creates a colourful and tactile break in otherwise plain surroundings. The light and reflections create a calming wave to walk through even in dull grey winter light. The other projects are in various stages of completion and more documentation of the build at the studio stage will be undertaken.
It’s been great to spend time with each artist in their studio talking through the processes and seeing the designs come to life.
