beth legg surfaces
The Scottish Gallery is delighted to host an exhibition of Beth Legg’s jewellery. The show follows the practice-led PhD she obtained from the University of Edinburgh in 2012 which culminated in a presentation of her work at the National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh.
Beth’s work is rooted in a delight in the poetic nature of materials – in both surface and content. Fallen trees, tangled seaweed and lichen-covered stone - the Scottish coastline and hinterlands strongly influence the work she produces. Working instinctively, her practice is process-driven and material-led. The traditional hand tool methods she utilises help to reveal the intrinsic potential of each material, whether precious metal, stone or wood.
Beth's jewellery is a moving dialogue – each piece a reflection of the beautifully bleak and shifting nature of the Scottish landscape.Beth Legg, 2014
