Preparing for an exhibition or studio tour is both practical and reflective. It means gathering the work, considering how pieces speak to one another, and creating space for visitors to encounter the practice in person.
The New Edinburgh Studio Tour offers an opportunity to share recent work, speak with visitors, and allow the studio process to become part of the conversation.
There is a different kind of energy when work is seen outside the quiet of the studio. Questions come up in conversation. Viewers notice details the artist may have stopped seeing. The work begins to live in a shared space, shaped by looking, response, and exchange.
For Aileen, the studio tour is also a way to connect the work to place, community, and ongoing practice. It offers a moment to pause, gather recent pieces, and consider what threads are continuing forward.
