Skaftfell’s current artist in residence Kirsty Palmer<\/strong> <\/a>(UK) is showing a selection of her newest work in the West Wall gallery in Skaftfell’s bistro, beginning on 5th May 2020.<\/p>\n

(Matter) <\/i>is a group of new works developed during Kirsty’s residency at Skaftfell from February to May 2020.\u00a0Responding to existing concerns within her practice, the work explores image-making as an evolving medium in her predominantly sculptural and site-specific practice.<\/p>\n

Kirsty Palmer<\/strong><\/a> lives and works in Glasgow. Her practice is often driven by formal concerns; materials, their changing states and the making process itself. She is interested in the phenomenological potential of materiality, archaeology and landscape as a site of memorial. Her work often presents as a site-specific \u2018archipelago\u2019 of surfaces, forms and images and can itself be seen to form a memorial of sorts; a dedication to a particular physical space, image or process.<\/p>\n

Kirsty graduated from the MFA programme at The Glasgow School of Art in 2014, and with BA (Hons) in 2010. Recent exhibitions include LANDING, <\/i>Glasgow Project Room, Glasgow (2019); Of A Mountain\/ Af fjalli<\/i>, Br\u00e6\u00f0raborg, \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur\u00a0(2018); Flock & Fold<\/i>, S\u00cdM, Reykjavik (2018); I S L A N D <\/i>S, Patriothall Gallery, Edinburgh (2017).<\/p>\n

Kirsty\u2019s residency at Skaftfell is supported by Creative Scotland Open Project Funding.<\/p>\n

Due to COVID-19 the bistro (and the West Wall gallery) is currently open on weekdays 12:00-13:00 and 18:00-20:00, and on the weekends from 18:00-21:00.<\/p>\n
