Following its run at St Andrews Museum, as reviewed by Artmag.co.uk, the Crafted Selves: The Unfinished Conversation exhibition has travelled to Kirkcaldy Galleries where it will be on display until 12th May.
A curator and researcher whose practice specialises in social justice, Cat Dunn‘s exhibition at Kirkcaldy Art Gallery in Fife, Crafted Selves: The Unfinished Conversation, showcases the work of thirteen Scottish-based artists who explore dual identities in their works – in sculpture, painting, ceramics, textiles, installation, moving image films and creative writing. Responding to the question, ‘What does it mean to have a dual identity, and how is this sense of self reflected in work being made by Scottish craft artists today?‘ the artists offer their experience of their own selves – having a cultural heritage which is both Scottish and one which is rooted in another cultural home.
Participating artists include Alberta Whittle, Sekai Machache (whose work is pictured below), Ashanti Harris, Viv Lee, Rae-Yen Song, Adil Iqbal, Eden Grant Dodd, Li Huang, Emelia Beale (whose work is pictured above), Joy Baek, Sara Pakdel-Cherry, Tilda Williams-Kelly and Harvey Dimond.
