About
Self-Reliance (1841) features the work of three up-and-coming Edinburgh based artists/photographers: Alicia Bruce, Malcy Duff and Johnny Gailey.The exhibition has taken inspiration from the essay, Self-Reliance' written by American author Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1841. The text admonishes the reader to "Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events â¦Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles"
The three photographers/artists are each exhibiting a body of work in progress, in which various aspects of self-reliance come into play. The exhibition itself will be created from reclaimed wood and funded through crowdfunding - self reliance in action.
