Presenting a series of photo montage works, this exhibition is based on the book ‘Woman on the Edge of Time’ by Marge Piercy, one of the first feminist utopian novels about a woman wrongly incarcerated in a New York mental ward in 1976 where she is visited by a time traveling non binary individual from the year 2137.

These visions of an excavated future are captured in framed prints and created from fragments of fashion and lifestyle magazines collected from various waiting rooms; where pages are torn, ripped and cut into new esoteric meanings of consumer capitalism through the means of digital collage. The installation includes aqua tinted fractals placed as wallpaper, a projected, calming ‘EUROPA’ moon (one of Jupiter’s many moons named after a Phoenician princess in Greek mythology, from whom the name of the continent Europe is taken) and a looped ambient music piece taken from samples recorded in QEU hospital Glasgow waiting rooms in late 2018.

‘Alienation’ takes its influence from the physical surface of photography found in the alien self, hospital art, xenofeminism, self care, institutional environments, planetary landscapes and a disturbed cosmic glamour.

Suttie Arts Space is an arts venue within Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, open 24hours a day for both visitors, staff and patients.
