Extra Salt & Sauce

I managed to trick my way onto the invite list for the preview show for the Edinburgh Art College end of year show a couple of years back. And have delighted in attending since.

This year’s exhibition features a surprising quantity of urban photography (industrial buildings, lampposts, depressed looking people in down at heel garments), some lovely theatrical costumes, the usual mix of impractical looking scraps from the fashion students and some pretty run of the mill painting.

Having written it off so sweepingly, I gather that our Mr Farrell (whose trademark green Hibs jacket could be seen haunting the corridors) was pretty impressed by the animation and some of the TV. Which I had skipped in favour of the jewellery. (A typical girl.)

And I did see some very lovely illustrations / paintings from a chap called Kristian Evju. Well worth a look in my humble opinion. If exotic names are an indication of anything, he should go far.
