Flare or Flow, Gill Russell , 2022
Boundaries: a City of Sky and Sea is the first of Aberdeen Performing Arts new exciting programme of visual arts commissions featuring a range of art forms to be profiled across their venues.
In March 2022, Gill Russell created Flare or Flow, an exhibition of new work for Aberdeen Music Hall in response to the essay A Narrow Glimpse of Sea by writer Esther Woolfson.
In March 2022, Gill Russell created Flare or Flow, an exhibition of new work for Aberdeen Music Hall in response to the essay A Narrow Glimpse of Sea by writer Esther Woolfson.
The collaboration between Gill and Esther explored Aberdeen’s relationship with the North Sea and the natural landscape of the City of Aberdeen. Extending beyond topographical boundaries, both artist and writer used the natural landscapes of the area to connect to wider, universal issues facing individuals, society and the planet.
The themes are expressed through an installation of digital prints, vinyl wall drawings, texts, maps and extracts from Esther’s writing. The separate themes can be accessed through the links below.
A book, 'Boundaries: A City of Sky and Sea' was created by Gill as a legacy of the project. It can be downloaded here.
