In the run up to their new joint exhibition We Are Ocean at Granton Station, the artists are inviting you to a talk about their current practice and what inspires their work. Alison Grant is a visual artist and community facilitator based in Edinburgh, her work explores ways to create space for contemplation, introspection, connection and dialogue with our home and our place and relationships with the ecosystems that sustain us. Recent projects include 11,000 miles an Ocean facing research project supported by a Creative Scotland Award and Drawing Down the Sun a community model for climate agency and creativity. Previous solo exhibitions include Stone Moon a collaboration with poet Fiona Sampson MBE shown at the Scottish Poetry Library and the Wigtown Book Festival in 2022. No Ruined Stones shown in Wiltshire and online in the virtual Art North Exhibition 2020 and The Shape of Time and Suspended Shadows shown with the Warburton Gallery Edinburgh. Tokes Sharif handcrafts sculptural and functional objects using clay incorporating local and foraged materials. Each piece is mindfully fashioned, in small batches, into iconic and timeless forms influenced by archeology and nature. The use of a limited palette of neutral and earthy tones coupled with stony and matte textures draws inspiration from Scottish landscapes. This deliberate choice of aesthetics is to allow a deeper and reflective connection to nature anchored through the practical use of the pieces and thus enhancing the wellbeing of the recipient.
