Participating Artists
MAYA EL NAHAL
Caught between erratically sprawling and spartanly maximal, Maya uses sculpture, movement, sound, and writing to connect with place by exploring spiritual, social, and scientific ecologies. Though informed by a background in biomedical research, Maya is driven by intuition. They are heavily invested in process and materials as extensions of the work’s meaning and significance. Committed to queerness, Maya’s practice forges unexpected alliances to invite alternative perspectives. This society operates under specific conditions, and angles citizens towards ideals of purity, hierarchy, and individualism; Maya’s work asks if there are other ways to read the world. Facing the maw of ecological and societal crises, these attempts to read differently represent a hope that we could live differently.
ROBIN CURRIE
Robin Currie is a Glasgow based photographer who has recently graduated his masters
degree from The Glasgow School Of Art in Contemporary Art Practice, where he
explored new mediums in sculpture and metalwork.
ADRIENNE MURRAY
Adrienne Murray works across print, sculpture, and sound, to develop work which attempts to counter apathy in the age of the digital. Adrienne collects and transfigures the imagery of natural matter and everyday ephemera to create delicate and ethereal compositions, sculptures, and sound works which explore narratives of sensitivity, connection and instinct. As an alternative to desensitisation, she aims to encourage others to perceive the wonder and magic in the ordinary and the everyday, by drawing focus to the poetry in the materiality of the physical things which surround us. In her recent work, she has explored the imagery of eggs as a means of communicating quiet power and the intrinsic strength that can be found within vulnerability.

DEMI GAO
Demi Gao is a visual artist currently based in Glasgow, Scotland. Her practice moves across painting, mixed media, screenprint, and digital image-making, taking grayscale as a methodology, extending the time before meaning becomes fixed. Through the recurring face, image degradation, and material wear, she asks how matter carries time. She calls this stance soft resistance: not declaration, but a water-erodes-stone infiltration, working through rhythm, structure, and material choice to leave, slowly and persistently, a mark in the viewer’s experience that has not yet been named.
DEVANATH VALIYA VEETIL
Devanath Valiya Veetil is an artist from Kerala, India, currently based in Glasgow. Working across installation, printmaking, drawing, sound and moving image, his practice investigates identity, self-representation and belonging through the coastal landscape. He challenges conventional landscape representation, exploring how place shapes the self and informs lived experience. Raised in a fishing family and coastal community, Devanath’s relationship with the sea emerges from an intimate, embodied knowledge of its environment. The coastline’s vastness and the ocean’s unpredictability inform his artistic processes and material choices. Through textures, forms and sensory qualities associated with coastal life, he examines the entanglement of landscape, memory and identity. His practice operates as a form of self-portraiture, where landscape becomes more than a visual subject. Translated through material, image and sensory experience, it becomes a means of negotiating personal history, displacement and belonging, revealing the complex ways place inhabits the self.
JIMIN SHIM
Jimin Shim is a Korean artist who recently completed a Master of Letters in Contemporary Art Practice in the UK, following a Bachelor of Fine Arts in South Korea. Jimin works across sculpture, installation and video, exploring gendered power relations taken for granted in everyday life. Drawing on personal experiences and observations, her work transforms and rearranges familiar objects and situations to reveal the social rules and hierarchies embedded within them. Through the properties and formal contrasts of materials, Shim explores themes of visibility, exposure and control, drawing attention to sensory states that emerge from the contrast between the material and immaterial, as well as to instability. Moving between the personal and political, Shim questions what is accepted as universal truth or common sense, inviting viewers to see the familiar from different perspectives.
QIANQUAN WANG
Qianquan Wang（QQKing) is an artist from China who graduated with an MLitt in Contemporary Art Practice from the Glasgow School of Art. Her practice includes sculpture, textiles, installation and moving image, often using discarded household objects and reused materials. In Smart Zoo, household appliances become hybrid animal characters, drawing on Chinese Smart subculture. The series explores visibility, consumption and assimilation. It received the 2026 GSA Sustainability Prize.
REBECCA RAE
Based in Glasgow, Rebecca Rae is an emerging multidisciplinary artist whose work focuses on the comedic, vulnerable and repetitive absurdness of everyday life. Living with OCD has allowed Rebecca to explore themes of rituals, the functionality of objects and the uncanny. Through replicating ordinary objects and altering materials in order to remove their original function, Rebecca creates personalized objects that resemble what we are familiar with but contains an underlying strangeness.

SUBIN GANG
Subin Gang is a sculpture and installation artist based on Seoul and Glasgow. Her practice begins with the question, “What is the most natural form?” Looking at stones and landscapes, she considers form not as something fixed, but as something shaped through its relationship with surrounding conditions. Working with everyday and fragile materials such as gelatine, eggshells, flour glue and thin plastic, she observes how gravity, humidity, drying, surfaces and interactions between materials influence sculptural form. Rather than fully controlling these processes, she allows unexpected changes and material responses to become part of the work. Through qualities such as flexibility, adaptability, fragility and observation, her practice explores how forms- and perhaps we ourselves- might take shape through the conditions we are already part of, rather than moving towards a predetermined ideal.

SCOTT CLIMIE
Scott Climie is visual artist and image maker from Glasgow who works across disciplines; painting, screen printing, digitally animating, and sculpting. His work consistently features striking colour, geometry and pattern in lively yet methodical compositions that combine a sense of complex visual balance and harmony with an exploration of space, depth and perspective, Walking the line between purposeful sincerity and childlike play. Consistent use of clean lines and separated colours can be seen as a reflection of the artist’s personal anxieties surrounding body dysmorphia and obsessive fears of contamination, uncleanliness and illness, yet the work can still be appreciated universally as accessible and fun.
TINGYI LI
Tingyi Li is a UK-based visual artist and printmaker based in Glasgow. Her practice spans fine art printmaking (including stone lithography and woodcut), intuitive sculpture, and tactile wearable art. Guided by a process-led methodology, Li’s work engages deeply with non-anthropocentric perspectives, material resistance, and organic forms. Rather than adhering to rigid predetermined concepts, she allows accidental marks, natural textures, and physical interaction with raw materials to shape her visual narratives. Her wearable art pieces, developed alongside her printmaking, transform raw stones and wire into intimate sculptures that bridge body and object. Li regularly exhibits her prints and handcrafted wearable works across local art platforms and markets in Scotland, constantly exploring the quiet dynamic between Eastern psychodynamics, physical labor, and environmental decay.
HOPE BROOKS

A recent graduate of the MLitt Contemporary Art Practice programme at Glasgow School of Art, they previously studied Graphic Design for Publishing (2015) at Norwich University of the Arts.

GIL SPENCER
Gil Spencer’s current photographic work approaches the notional realm of machine sentience. Through the use of various in camera techniques and low-tech approaches, he creates a tactile landscape that is both liminal and mechanical.
