NAVIGATE brings together a printmaker, a sculptor and a scientist, each with a unique and contemporary approach to describing the earth's landscape.
About
Ian Brown: Printmaker
Gary McKay: Scientist
Steph Rubin: Sculptor
Ian Brown's subject matter is the natural world and the forces that shape it. And, underpinning the delivery in print, is a fascination with the photomechanical protocols we take for granted.
Gary McKay is a Remote Sensing Analyst and Scientist and
Research Professor with the University of Dundee. He uses
satellites, planes, submarines - anything not physically attached to the earth - to detect, observe and analyse the landscape.
Steph Rubin has reproduced details from paintings, prints and
postcards into 3D sections, which create scenes of other worldliness and places that the viewer can explore. She turns unseen and
mundane details that surround us into the extraordinary.
Rubin is currently collaborating with Jonathan Hogg, a scientist/engineer, to work with specific meteorology data to
produce 3D sculptures. They have been shortlisted for the Brighton/Hove Plinth Campaign (2015) and Art Angel 100 (2014).
