A presentation by Christine Borland , one of Scotland's most successful artists, about the development of her substantial body of work generated over the past 10 years. This work is associated with the systems and processes that provide the basis of our society. Through work with police and judicial processes, forensic science and medicine, she explores the relationship between art and science.
Christine Borland 's work is at once repulsive and seductive. She builds up layers of psychological complexity, juxtaposing the incongruous elements which pervade human sensibility, offending our notions of correctness and questioning the validity of our ideals. She plays with concepts of life and death, masculine and feminine, absence and presence, innocence and guilt. Through her investigative processes she reveals the brutal realities of contemporary society and validates her discourse with historical 'evidence', providing a
disturbing commentary on humanity.
This will be an opportunity to hear first-hand and to engage in discussion about the issues and themes that resonate within the works.
