His new body of work i s influenced by the story of the original village disappearing into the se a. Drawn to ruins and remains\, this work focuses on the erosion of the co astline and the structures encountered there\, which he has realised throu gh a combination of drawings\, prints and wooden forms he has collected fr om his trip to Findhorn. David’s exhibition is complimented with vibrant paintings by Gray’s School of Art graduate\, Toni Harrower.\n\n\n \ ;\n\n\n\n \;\nDavid Lemm\nAlongside materials sourced from Findhorn an d Roseisle beaches\, the works feature forms derived from sea fastenings. Lemm first encountered these objects in Shetland and has reimagined them f or projects in Lerwick and Bergen. Completing a triangulation of sorts\, a nd in response to Findhorn’s relationship with the sea\, this series con cludes a triptych of projects exploring these artefacts.\nHere\, these geo metric shapes are primarily employed as framing devices to view details fr om the local terrain\, alluding to complex correlations between human acti vity\, place and environment.\nDavid Lemm is a visual artist based in Edin burgh. His practice is informed by subjective encounters with place\, proc ess and artefact\, which he primarily explores through assemblage\, printm aking\, drawing and installation. Lemm constructs his work through situati onal enquiry and in response to observation of the incidental\, liminal an d relational\, often focusing on interactions between designed and natural ly occurring form.\n\nThe emergence of new meaning through synthesis and a bstraction of existing information is an ongoing concern and he often reim agines found materials to present inherent or speculative narratives. He h as worked extensively with admiralty charts\, and in recent work has reapp ropriated industrial components including sea fastenings and  tram tracks . \n​His approach frequently begins with walking and he has undertaken various residencies\, including projects in Norway\, London\, Isle of Eigg and the Jon Schueler Scholarship at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig\, Skye. He has pre sented several solo exhibitions and recent projects include public artwork s in Lerwick\, Edinburgh and Royal Brompton Hospital\, London.\nDavid's we bsite: www.davidlemm.co.uk\nFollow David on Instagram: @david_lemm\n\n\nTo ni Harrower\nMy paintings follow a ‘system’ and a set of restraints th at determine colour\, composition and scale. Working from a colour-coded a lphabet\, the titles for each painting are extremely important as they are the starting point for making\; from this point each piece follows a basi c set of rules - working from left to right\, top to bottom.\n\nI explore the physicality of paint in line with my interest in dementia. Working in a repetitious manner\, I create individual patterns and repeated geometric shapes which form a grid-like structure. The grids provide a level of con trol over the paint which is otherwise unrestricted. \n​The build-up of layers expresses the passing of time. As the paint gains depth and weight \, gravity and a lack of control come into play\, causing the paint to fal l away\, with cells merging into one another. In many ways the paintings r elate to uncontrollable events that happen in life\, and several pieces im ply the notion of the mind – and life - falling apart.\nToni's website: www.toniharrower.co.uk\nFollow Toni on Instagram: @toni_harrower_painter\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://morayartcentre.org/wp-content/uploads/20 23/11/FasteningsPromo_DLemm_Collage2.jpg CATEGORIES:Exhibitions LOCATION:Moray Art Centre\, Field of Dreams\, Findhorn\, Forres\, Moray\, I V36 3TA\, Scotland\, United Kingdom GEO:57.653616;-3.590018 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Field of Dreams\, Findhorn\ , Forres\, Moray\, IV36 3TA\, Scotland\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100 ;X-TITLE=Moray Art Centre:geo:57.653616,-3.590018 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
