Exhibition: Photographs: John Reiach
Beyond The Blue
Verdict: Sea On Stone
Edinburgh - Faculty of Advocates - August 03
1-25 Aug 03 - Faculty of Advocates (next to Fringe Office), Old Assembly Close, High Street, Edinburgh. Noon - 6pm. Free.
John Reiach concentrates in this exhibition on the meeting of water against land - in close-up. There are pools making rocks slippery, gravel river beds, frosted water - whatever water can do to stone, John Reiach's lens is likely to be present.
The work here is mainly in colour - 7 large-format glass slides, 2 photographs on glass integrated into furniture, around 23 wall-mounted framed photographs (of which 5 are sepia).
John Reiach's work examines daylight, modulated and reflected off sea grass, rock, and marine life forms. It records the variable translucency and change in colour of water against stone; and how the surface of stone is changed by wetting. There's attention also to the layer patterns of metamorphic rocks, and the interplay of frost with running water.
His work is complemented by wooden furniture from Michaela Huber, some of which incorporates his photographs on glass, and has a flavour of furniture by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Graham Crimmins displays jewellery and metal work. Kjersti Elvelvold (www.k-elv.com) exhibits work in blue glass. Sam Wade exhibits mechanical objects in metal which he describes as kinetic sculpture (www.samwade.co.uk). Kenny Munro shows sculpture in metal and wood (www.kennymunrosculpture.com). The theme uniting these artists is 'the celebration of natural form'.
