Shape Games
Coburg House Gallery
21-30 June 2024
Designers are always playing shape games. Whether working with two dimensional pieces to create three dimensional forms, using collage to jigsaw together narratives or taking abstract shapes as a starting point to develop characters; there is always a shape puzzle to be solved. This exhibition brings together four educators based at Edinburgh College of Art showing a range of recent practice, works in progress and experimental ideas, all of which play the shape game.
Eilidh Muldoon is a best selling Illustrator based in East Lothian and well known for her children’s books and activity books. She often translates her highly decorative designs into murals and site specific work.
Isla Munro is a creative educator based in Edinburgh. As Programme Director for Product Design at the University of Edinburgh and the founder of the highly successful ‘100 Days Project Scotland’ which has been running annually since 2017, Isla empowers and encourages practitioners both at the beginning and well into their creative journeys.
Astrid Jaekel is an award-winning illustrator based in East Lothian. Working for a wide range of clients, her work covers a variety of approaches, from illustration commissions for print and web to collaborative projects and site-specific installations.
Lucy Roscoe is an illustrator and educator based in Edinburgh. As Lecturer in Illustration her research practice explores sculptural approaches to the book form, both within and beyond education. Working with a wide range of clients, her illustration practice explores the use of illustration to bring heritage materials to new audiences.
Exhibition Text:
The work exhibited here explores some of the narratives around gardens, considering the future of natural spaces in cities, sustainability, unlikely settings and the blending of public and private. The work draws strongly from cartography, both mapping gardens and in a broader sense.
My research practice explores the sculptural form of the book and how it can be used to tell stories, publishing these unusual forms under the imprint ‘The Book Tree Press’. As well as this ongoing question, in this new work I explore the crossover between Illustration and Craft processes, taking inspiration from quilts, tapestries, visual mending as well as the overlaps found in printmaking on paper, textiles and clay.
Shape games are inherent in each piece of work, a development tool in the process of making.
