Hello , it was lovely to meet more of you at my exhibition Finding Roots in Water  in Gallery 2 in September and exchange studio numbers :-).

One of my other huts is craniosacral  therapy. I have now created a separate ticket for St Margaret’s House residents in my booking system to keep supporting one another through these challenging times.

Drawn to Paper by Nicky Beckett & Jacki Higgs

Post date 12 July 2022

Whitespace Gallery
76E Crosscauseway
Edinburgh
EH8 9HQ

Private view Friday 15th July.
Music by Lime & Coconut.

Available to view: 15th – 21st July from 11am – 4pm

As our lives are interconnected, so are the faces in this series of woodcuts.

Some are of people I know and some are based on faces in Classical Art.

We are all rooted in our backgrounds and therefore in our memories. The past few years have been a time of introspection and also a time of looking out at the changing world. We look out at the world and the world is literally within the mind of our complex identity.

Using mixed media, oil paint and collage, I have added layers to the woodcuts, that tell a story.

The words and letters are symbolic.
Nicky Beckett

Paintings Watercolour, oils, wax, salt and collage on Japanese papers, inspired by a trip to the Faroes and Iceland in 2020. These works shall include on site drawings of the coastal paths of Cockenzie and the former saltpans of Prestonpans for a larger collaborative project at the end of the year.

Jacki Higgs is a professional member of the Scottish Society of Artists and has exhibited frequently with them and with exhibitions throughout the UK.

Orcadia: A Fenris and Ragnar Story is a short documentary film by Scottish filmmaker Glen Thomson. The film follows artists James Alexander McKenzie and Daniel O’Dempsey as they navigate life on the Orcadian Isles and chronicles their immersion in its rich culture. They discuss the impact Orkney has had on them, and the philosophy behind Fenris Wolf and Ragnar Thorfinn. Orcadia documents McKenzie and O’Dempsey’s collaborative practice, and the first two acts of the experimental play that they developed during their residency.

It is a vehicle for experimentation, collaboration and developing ideas within the realms of fine art, performance art, spoken word, poetry, music, and theatre.

Volunteers Wanted for Free Yoga Classes!

Post date 15 June 2022

To support body symphonies teacher training sessions. 

Thank you to all who came the last time, it was fab and we really enjoyed the whole weekend.

I am posting the link again in case you wish to sign up for the next two occasions. One is June 18th-19th, the other is July 2nd and 3rd.  

Format:  June week-end :The trainees will be teaching one class each, all different classes. I am hiding in a corner not to interfere. We have teas, cake and savoury bits for after to thank you .

July week-end: I will be going around adjusting people, to remind them of what we discussed over the 15th month one last time before they set off. Not ideal if you prefer to avoid touch.

If you have any medical condition that requires special attention, I would ask you to please not join the weekends as they are simply for me to assess general level classes. The rest goes under special workshops and trainings one can choose to do to deepen afterwards. Feel free to e-mail me if in doubt.

Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you at Yoga, Collective at studio 6.02.
