Abandoned by Eilidh Thomson
14 November – 10 December, 2009
Photographic artist Eilidh Thomson, a graduate of BA Hons Fine Art exhibits her current work “Abandoned”, with images taking within Moray. Eilidh’s work is about space & the viewers interpretation. Her use of light is a fundamental aspect of her work. Eilidh’s work will be exhibited with the Royal Scottish Academy next year to celebrate the 113th Annual exhibition of the SSA.
Through my personal encounters with form in interior space I have endeavoured to interpret the mood, presence and space of the environment. I visualise the sense of history and abandonment of these spaces, as well as represent the passage of time. Human experience forms a central core of my practice, bridging the gap between what is real and what is imagined, involving the viewer as they navigate their own interpretation and understanding of the world through my work.
