RESIDENCIES
Shop artwork, comics and T-shirts from our latest artists-in-residence
Joanna Blémont
Mysterious and ambiguous, Joanna's work creates enigmatic dreamscapes using rich textures and colours, mirrored motifs and partially figurative scenes.
Coocoora
In a land where the sun has disappeared behind clouds, a cheerful orphan discovers an extraordinary kid who can miraculously make sunlight. Together they embark on a journey to find the kid's home, and maybe even bring back the sun. But does humanity really deserve it?
Sarah Phelan
Exploring the capabilities and alternative uses of fax technologies, thermal paper and the way it repels riso ink, to distortions of reproducing images and the build-up of a dense layering of colours, Sarah Phelan has found new ways of creating and archiving forms.
Gemma Gorton
Capturing the changing colours of her Edinburgh home, Gemma’s work gives a glimpse of a quiet city of street scenes, public parks and under-explored nooks through dawn, dusk and twilight.
Ot Pascoe
Drawing on her screenprinting practise, Ot’s work uses elements of photography augmented with meticulous collage cut-outs and photocopier manipulation to create wobbly, trippy and playful prints of altered realities.
