Showcasing a wide range of screenprinting techniques, Keyline creates a dialogue between the works of printmakers working in Scotland and dealing with themes of identity, portraiture and personal histories. The term ‘keyline’ in screenprinting refers to a boundary line that separates colour and monochromatic areas. Keylines can be thick and bold - acting as the glue that holds a composition together. Or they can be loose or invisible - created by the edge of colour itself.
In our personal lives, the keyline could be the boundary between ourselves and the world we reside in - our skin, our home, our beliefs. It could be boundaries we are forced into - whether it be pressure to conform to gender norms or societal expectations. A keyline can be mandated - when people are relegated to certain territories - mapped out by their oppressors or by geological boundaries.
And like all maps, the keylines in our lives are constantly being reworked, reshaped, renamed and reinterpreted.
