Permeable Structure

KARLYN SUTHERLAND Karlyn Sutherland studied architecture at Edinburgh College of Art and received a PhD from The University of Edinburgh, where she was later employed as a design tutor and research assistant. She began working in glass in 2009 when her research into topics of place and attachment led her home to Caithness, where she enrolled in a master class at North Lands Creative Glass. She has since gone on to exhibit her work nationally and internationally. In 2016, she was an Endeavor Research Fellow in the Glass Workshop of the Australian National University in Canberra. Sutherland was an artist-in-residence at Bullseye Studio in Portland, Oregon and at the Corning Museum of Glass in New York.

Permeable Structure

Published on Aug 9, 2017

Bullseye Projects presents the inaugural exhibition at The Byre, a new exhibition space located in northern Scotland. The buildings we inhabit have complex lives. By peeling back the layers, we reveal histories of use. The sometimes indelible but often fragile clues hint at the stories that moved through and between these spaces. Add to this the world outside that shines in through the windows and grows into the crevices. Our own memories, emotions, and aspirations, which we bring to every space we encounter, create new dimensions. It is through this confluence of meaning – between the buildings, the light, the land, history, and the people - that the rigid structures in which we live become permeable. Permeable Structure brings together the work of Silvia Levenson, Emily Nachison, Michael Rogers, and Karlyn Sutherland. The exhibition draws from the landscape, deep history, and culture of Caithness, the northernmost county in Scotland.
