The Opening of ‘Capturing Stillness’ by JaeJun Lee & Hayley McCrirrick
‘Capturing Stillness’ is an exhibition of porcelain objects and dyed textiles. The exhibition showcases South Korean Ceramicist JaeJun Lee and Scottish Artist Hayley McCrirrick. Both artists capture a stillness through a refined palette and materials. They are led by their making process, allowing the repetition of core techniques to embody their intuition. The refinement of their processes showcases an exhibition that captures a
tranquil and welcoming stillness to the gallery.
Artist, Hayley McCrirrick, creates compositions that are rooted in the materials she uses. Hayley layers colours and strips back two or three shades to create a feeling of depth. The depth and grounded quality found in Hayley’s work can be seen in her study of Dansaekhwa paintings, which are often referred to as “meditative”.
Ceramicist JaeJun Lee specialises in porcelain. He finds calmness in the line of a simple form and subtlety of a glazed surface. Details and textures are apparent in contemplating his work.
