Travelling Gallery in Kelso

in Kelso Town Square

Friday 13th March and Saturday 14th March ONLY!

The Borders Art Fair are delighted to be supporting a visit from the Travelling Gallery to Kelso Town Square, on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th March only. The Travelling Gallery is FREE to visit and will be showing an exhibition featuring new work by three young artists based in Scotland. The exhibition is part of Scotland's Year of Coasts and Waters.

Amy Gear is an artist based in Shetland. Gear purposefully uses her island location to not only visually inspire her art practice but to understand what it means to be an artist working rurally; this often cumulates in artwork that explores the connection between body and land. Gear's art practice uses many different materials and mediums, from printmaking and works on paper to performance and text.

Rhona Muhlebach is a Swiss filmmaker based in Glasgow. Her films bring together traditions, environment and storytelling. Muhlebach is influenced by science and nature documentaries and has used similar techniques in her films, for example diving in Loch Long to capture underwater footage. Her footage and landscape are used as the backdrop for an imaginative narrative, often told by Muhlebach herself, reminiscent of folklore with imaginative and enjoyable characters.

Suzie Eggins studied at Moray School of Art and is based in Edinburgh. Her beautiful abstract drawings of native wild flowers aim to capture their design and unique character. For the Travelling Gallery exhibition Eggins will produce new drawings exploring the molecular structure of water.
