Time Is All Around: Upcoming exhibition at Edinburgh Printmakers

Entitled Time is All Around, our upcoming Members’ Exhibition wrestles with big themes. Many of the artists have been working closely with the staff and patients at St. Columba’s Hospice, a provider of special palliative care for patients with terminal illness. Influenced by the stories of acceptance and reconciliation in the face of mortality, the artists have created a diverse range of prints, each channelling rich inspiration in unique and beguiling fashions.



Life, death, hope, redemption, tragedy, beauty.

Entitled Time is All Around, our upcoming Members Exhibition wrestles with big themes. Many of the artists have been working closely with the staff and patients at St. Columbas Hospice, a provider of special palliative care for patients with terminal illness. Influenced by the stories of acceptance and reconciliation in the face of mortality, the artists have created a diverse range of prints, each channelling rich inspiration in unique and beguiling fashions.

Through a faith-neutral lens, the exhibition

encourages us to look again at our own experiences. The stories from the hospice have the power to re-induce appreciation of the familiar, and have led many of the artists to rediscover the wonder of the everyday. Objects, buildings and people are rethought and presented anew. The exhibitions prints tread the line between the recognisable and the unseen, standing as things both novel and strangely familiar.

Situated at the forefront of contemporary art printmaking, Time is All Around hits profound topics head-on and findsvalue in things that might ordinarily be overlooked.
