Up On The Roof






CARPE DIEM washing line installation for a video work for Garlands exhibition at the Park Gallery, and Helen Beurskins Vintage Lanvin Scarf.
Some other versions of "Carpe Diem", at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop exhibition Magazine '07; on the Kunstlerhaus window in Trollhattan, Sweden; and at the Embassy Gallery, Edinburgh in Associates, May 07. A special thank you to Irene and George Dickson who have been extremely patient allowing me access to the roof of Leishman Tower, and also to Judy Beattie of Marshall Tower.

Garlands




Alex and Janie will be exhibiting again in the exhibition "Garlands" at the Park Gallery, Callendar Park, Falkirk FK1 1YR. The opening reception will be Friday 8th August 6pm - 8pm, and the exhibition will be open to the public 9th August til 9th September, Monday to Saturday 10am -5pm, Sundays 2pm - 5pm. The exhibition will consist of a new installation by Janie; and Mineral Park, a selection of video works curated by Alex.

The title Garlands is taken from the first album by the Cocteau Twins, a band originally from Grangemouth. This image uses the album cover from New Order's "Power, Corruption and Lies", which itself uses the painting "A Basket of Roses" by the French Painter Henri Fantin-Latour. This is used as a basis for a collage containing flower images taken from Callendar Park, The Hidden Gardens, and Janie Nicoll's own garden. In addition to this there are flowers sampled from dresses from the Porter Collection currently on show at Callendar House.
