Rebecca Gouldson: The Industrial Shift Preview

About

You and your guests are invited to the preview for Rebecca Gouldson's solo show 'The Industrial Shift' at Edinburgh Printmakers. Bristol based Metalsmith Rebecca Gouldson explores the heritage of our historic industries through Art. The exhibition ‘Industrial Shift' sees Rebecca take a multidisciplinary approach to the themes, images and objects of historic industry, highlighting the beauty of the often overlooked relics of these industries such as tools, machinery, and industrial architecture, now left abandoned, without their original functional purpose. Using etching techniques more traditionally associated with printmaking, Rebecca makes metal wall pieces and sculptures. The rich metallic surfaces are adorned with etched images derived from photographs, drawings, and found material relating to the exhibition theme. Industrial Shift will run from 29 March to 24 May 2013 at Edinburgh Printmakers Gallery, 23 Union Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3LR. Open Tuesday to Sunday 10am - 6pm Visit our website for more information. http://www.edinburghprintmakers.co.uk/exhibitions/rebecca-gouldson-preview
