Alex Gillies: This Is How Memories Are Made

Overview

The incredibly talented Alex Gillies will show off the fruits of his labour at, This Is How Memories Are Made. This marks Gillies' third solo exhibition and showcases his creativity and skills beautifully. An array of intricate wood cuts will be on show and serve to reflect brief moments of history that are shared amongst us.

Each image included in the exhibition represents a meticulous process that Gillies undertakes. It may take weeks to produce a wood carving but that is only the beginning. The next part of the process is to print the images which is done by hand. Upon finishing carving and printing, the remaining image will feature rich textures and capture a point in time.

This Is How Memories Are Made includes a variety of images from depictions of Wild West folklore to Australian wildlife and much more. Be impressed by both the patience and immense talent of Gillies at his latest exhibition. In the mean time, check out Gillies' diary here to whet your appetite.
