Artist's Talk: Louise Scullion 

Small Works of Great Scale 

As part of our 'Celebrate: 200 Years of the Royal Scottish Academy' exhibition in the art gallery we are delighted to be joined by artist and RSA Academician Louise Scullion to discuss her new work. 

Small Works of Great Scale represents a new area of exploration for artists Dalziel + Scullion, perhaps better known for their large-scale public artworks. This collection was born out of their studio’s relocation to the Outer Hebrides in 2022. In these wearable artworks, they have distilled and honoured aspects of the biodiversity they are witness to on the Isle of Lewis.

Historically, the act of adornment; wearing jewellery; or sporting a badge, was a means to tell the world who we are, what we stand for, or who we would like to be. These relatively small objects have the potential to speak of large issues. The works in this collection, incorporate materials that appear to have little monetary value, yet they acknowledge the wealth of biodiversity needed by the non-human species we all live alongside. They distil thoughts and ideas into a badge of affiliation, or alternatively a momenta mori to a world whose biodiversity is reducing year on year.

Louise Scullion will present an illustrated talk on the collection and the various found objects that they have evolved from.

This drop in event is in the Main Art Gallery and booking is not required.
