Introducing MoTI


`Introducing MoTI` is the first exhibition to be held by this recently formed group of artists.
Together and with the backing of the National Creative Learning Network, they intend to 
provide one another with support and career development, post graduation.
The theme of the show is `time` and was chosen to reflect the transition from student to 
emerging artist with each of them approaching this subject in their own particular way.

Overview of gallery



Louise Barrington
`Mu-5`(2016)
These works are beautiful and capture the essence of movement and time.

Susan Boyd
`The Lodge at Germount`
Digitally manipulated images bringing new life to old discarded family photos.
There was 6 in total but this one caught my eye, it`s true
what they say `a picture can paint a 1000 words!`

Frances Scott
`75 hrs, 21 mins`
These digital prints record the time, distance and snapshots of 23 individual walks
taken by the artist over a 7 month period. These reminded me of Dan Lee`s
alternative mapping methods used during his `Map Orkney Month` last year!

Sigard Smith
`Fragmentation 1, Fragmentation Collection & Fragmentation IV`
These works reflect the free-flowing processes of memory, capturing an abstract
 moment in time relating to the Orkney landscape.

Mary Grieve
`Waiting`
Mary uses stop frame animation to document small human interactions
and enjoys making them into stories. This piece demonstrates this with a
small turn of a handle , one of the characters starts gently rocking a baby. It was
subtle but very effective, I even started making up my own story!!

Kristyn Grieve
`Boy`
These water colours on baby wipes was such an innovative way to bridge the gap
between the creative urge of an artist and the necessities of everyday life in motherhood.

It is well worth going to see this exhibition, not only to support these young emerging artists but to enjoy the individual  `time themed` perspectives they have which is both evocative and delightful!!
