We Call Ourselves the Weirdos!
Zoo Arts Exhibition opens at North Edinburgh Arts
Zoo Arts has been exploring the themes of portraiture, the face and masks over the last eight weeks (writes Kirsty Reynolds).
We’ve manipulated, embellished and transformed our faces in our weekly sessions, using them as a base for self expression and character creation. This exhibition is a showcase of some of our experiments involving the face and how we have played with altering it using drawing, collage, costume and photography.
Artists involved in the project are:
Patrick Harvey Filip Glanowski Jenny Souter
Aidan Wrubel Antek Krzos Lauren Davis
Caedon Bentino Amber Walker Graham Wark
Kitty Yang Claire Graham Sally Price
Jakey Yang Anne Chen Kirsty Reynolds
