HAXTON by Fraser Taylor 

21st November, 16:00 - 21:30 | 22nd November, 11:00 - 16:00

The launch of a new collaboration with ceramic artist Katie Nellis. 

Fraser Taylor is an interdisciplinary visual artist whose studio practice is rooted in drawing. Images occupy a space between figuration and abstraction and two and three dimensions.

Collaboration is an integral part of Fraser Taylor’s practice sharing and exploring different ways of constructing ideas with others working in different disciplines.

The focus of HAXTON is printing on cloth and assembling garments and products. What differs now is the addition of digital printing which is parallel to a continued commitment to analogue. 

Images and marks were initially motivated by reflections on a series of drawings that Taylor made in 1980 of shadows of figurative forms cast across the craggy landscape of Morvich located on the west coast of Scotland. Revisiting this work has prompted an understanding of recurring themes, forms and marks. Scale and mark making and its relationship to the body is fundamental. 

The first collection was conceived and produced during the winter of 2020 in Glasgow during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additional work from Taylor’s studio archive will be available to view and purchase.
