Gillian Carson

Gillian Carson works with performance, video, drawing, painting and

sculpture. She has exhibited in Europe, China and Cuba. Her work has a

poetic, repetitive and rythmical expression. She is interested in existential

experience and how repetition and rythym can build a work which she

channels through two working titles - “Roasted Heart” (emotional) and

“Processed Line” (technical). A great deal of her performance work has

been in collaboration with Robert Alda, Karen Kipphoff and Rita Marhaug.

Carson has A BA Honours from Edinburgh College of Art and an MA from

UiB, Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design.
