Circle is a survey of works by the American-born, Glasgow-based artist Margaret Salmon, who works primarily on 16mm and 35mm film. Using an intuitive and often improvised approach to the camera, Salmon trains her eye on an intimate cast of family, friends and local subjects. Her films are a chronicle of the everyday, of the emotive connections between people, and of their relationship to the worlds they inhabit.
The exhibition aspires beyond re-presenting existing works made over the past 20 years. It draws a line around Salmon’s practice as a whole, circumscribing what exists in between the works or in their shadows: the sketches, the research, the remnants.
