Jonny Walker: A shard in my eye’
Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop is excited to present A shard in my eye’, the new public commission by Jonny Walker for the Hawthornvale Space.
About Jonny Walker: A shard in my eye’
The work consists of a series of fused glass lamps pressed against the windows, illuminating both the gallery interior and the street outside. The surfaces of the lamps appear frozen in flux, patterns and symbols embedded within their surfaces through chemical processes involving silver, copper, and sulphur. Half-resembling long-forgotten office lights, the work explores themes of stasis, memory, and non-verbal, codified language.
The Hawthornvale Exhibition Programme is conceived as an ongoing programme of temporary public artworks, that reaches a broad audience, providing the members of the public with an unexpected encounter with contemporary art.
This year’s programme has been generously supported by The Idlewild Trust.
Jonny Walker (b. 1994) is an artist based in Glasgow working primarily in sculpture. His work explores influence, permeability and tension, led by an interest in sites of interaction between individuals, objects and wider systems.
Jonny graduated from DJCAD in 2017. Recent projects include: ‘Where a Castle Meets the Sky’, Glasgow International; ‘Divinity’, Transmission Gallery, Glasgow; Platform:2022, Institut Français d’Ecosse, Edinburgh (2022); ‘The Deepest Gurgle I Ever Heard’, KIOSK, Glasgow; and ‘Meatworld’, 16 Nicholson Street, Glasgow. He has taken part in residencies at Hospitalfield, Arbroath and Artnshelter, Tokyo.
