Andrew Carnie: Watercolours in the Studio Moving Along

 
 MRI Watercolours

Loosely based on MRI scans these "sequence of head" watercolours were completed back in February. At that time I had a strong pattern of making these watercolours most days. This compulsion has wained a bit, the last watercolours I completed were in a half day session at Prussia Cove while staying at the Haven with a group from Lower Shaw Farm. The works try and hint at broad structure and emotional states. I like the idea of the dual - multiple view point embraced by the work. There are a couple at A2 size, most are A4. Saying that I am not undertaking any watercolours currently is slightly untrue. I have been making small postcard sized pieces for the 'pocket works' I am producing for the West Down Gallery show in October, see https://www.andrewcarnie.uk/post/steady-work-in-the-studio

Andrew Carnie is an artist and academic at Winchester School of Art, Southampton University. His practice often involves a meaningful interaction with scientists. He is part of The Critical Practices Research team where his own interests lie in exploring the self, through notions of hybridity, in organ transplantation and immunology, other themes and ideas are often based around neurology, the brain, and how we get a sense of our-selves through science ideas, and images.

The work is often time-based in nature, involving slide dissolve systems or video projection onto complex screens. In darkened spaces layered images appear and disappear on suspended voiles, the developing display absorbing the viewer into an expanded sense of space and time through slowly unfolding narratives that evolve around them. 

His work has been exhibited at the Science Museum, London, Natural History Museum, Rotterdam, Design Museum, Zurich, Exit Art, in New York, Williams College Museum of Art, Williamstown, Great North Museum, Newcastle, Pera Museum, Istanbul, Dresden Hygiene Museum, Morevska Gallery, Brno, and the Daejeon Museum of Art, South Korea, Kunstkraftwerk,
 PHI, Montreal, Canada, Leipzig amongst many others.
