| Description | Bronwen's interest in the built environment spans industrial architecture, lost spaces at the edge of the city and public spaces such as stations, airports and stadia. She translates these places by folding, twisting and abstracting them. Her work explores space rather than describing it, challenging perceptions of overlooked locations and presenting familiar places in an unfamiliar way. This etching is based on the new BBC building at Pacific Quay in Glasgow. Beginning by working from her own photographs of the space, she has continued to explore it through drawing. This print is an etching with hand coloured elements. Bronwen Sleigh began working in the Print Studio Gallery in 2002 and later became a screenprint tutor. She had a solo show in the Gallery in 2005 and was part of a three person show in 2012. This print was made as part of the 40/40 exhibition in 2013, to mark 40 years of Glasgow Print Studio. 40 artists were each invited to make an edition of 40 prints, which was exhibited at Glasgow Print Studio from 24th August to 13th October 2013. |
