The Things You Forgot To Imagine at The Leith School of Art
This exhibition uses printmaking and sculpture to trace the journey of a sea urchin, from its initial conception to its eventual transformation into a fossil. Installations, traditional and digital printing processes are used to reimagine the forms and structures of the different stages of the creature's metamorphosis.
Drawing inspiration from the wisdom of ancient cultures, the exhibition acknowledges the moon's subtle influence on marine life. Just as the moon dictates the ocean's rhythm, it is understood to affect the inner workings of these creatures. This connection is reflected in the artwork itself, emphasising that everything within us is intrinsically linked to the world around us.
