Literally







Emily Hair


This month The WOT presents three current Edinburgh College of Art MFA Illustration students;

Turine Viet-Tu Tran, Emily Hair and Astrid Jaekel.

Each Illustrator is preoccupied with the processes of drawing, this being central to their thinking and practise. The exhibition will be focused around ink, paper and books, each piece hand made by the artist. Craft and skill are being showcased interplaying with narratives and ideas. Each artist’s concepts are translated through these mediums and the windows play an important part in the conversation between the work, its context and the viewer. Literally calls on images of books and questions imagination, rather fitting for its location in the windows of the Central Lending Library in the city of Edinburgh.
