Beachheads unfolds as a series of monumental sculptures crafted from discarded industrial and household materials that speak eloquently of the excesses and wastefulness of contemporary consumer culture.
The works draw attention to our complicity in the relentless cycles of production and disposal — and the environmental and social consequences they entail.
Each work appears as a series of dualities — waste and renewal, domestic and industrial, hard and soft, interior and exterior, moving fluidly between states, embodying both energies at once.
Visitors can also join Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop for the opening event for Louise Gibson: Beachheads as part of EAF’s Leith Day, from 7—9pm on 9 August.
