What's On @ Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop

Megan Rudden: Love in the Ecotone

Megan Rudden: Love in the Ecotone

6 Aug 2025 - 12 Oct 2025

Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop is delighted to present Love in the Ecotone, an installation of new work by Megan Rudden for the Hawthornvale Space. The Ecotone describes a transitional space between two environments, a boundary that does not separate but rather intimately connects different systems. Rudden’s cast and carved and scattered materials, consider the material world through words and watery relations. Liquid metaphors that develop connections between sculpture, language and the body. The gallery becomes a meeting ground where these concepts interact, and transform.
Louise Gibson: Beachheads

Louise Gibson: Beachheads

7 Aug 2025 - 31 Aug 2025

Beachheads, a new body of work by Edinburgh based artist Louise Gibson, is an ambitious exhibition of a series of monumental sculptures crafted from the detritus of late capitalism. Formed from discarded industrial and domestic goods, these sculptures speak eloquently to the excesses and wastefulness of contemporary consumer culture, drawing attention to our complicity in capitalism’s relentless cycles of production and disposal—and the environmental and social consequences they entail.
