FESTIVAL FROLICS 2025
FESTIVAL FROLICS 2025
This piece was created on the back of the success of my Virgin Hotel Artist in Residence in 2024 which saw me collecting in and recycling the Festival flyers and magazines within the body of the artwork. I took to the streets once again this year (2025) collecting in the multiple shows that were on around the City. In a Quirky Queue style the magazines pieces were firstly used to create the backdrop of Victoria Street where much of the action happens during the bustling festival. A mixed media layering technique is used with many different mediums from acrylic paint to nail polish to the finest of sniping from the flyers themselves. The final cherry on the cake with my works sees me adding magazine figures to help create the busy energy on the Streets of Edinburgh during the month of August. Up-cycled nail polish was used for the heads then satin varnish finished. Framed in a black contemporary frame measuring 66.5cm x 66.5cm. Strung and ready to hang.
