Calum Rennie
A makeshift sort of artist whose practice focuses* (in the broadest sense of that word) on documents, their creation and presentation.
About
Calum J Rennie is an artist, writer and archivist who aims to explore through his work intimate, small moments and the stories that they form. Within this collection of written works, essays and poems is contained a journey through the mundane and the personal, presented in a matter-of-fact manner which encourages the reader to meet it halfway. The writings explore themes of monotony, inspiration, isolation and change, ultimately coalescing into a completed vision of something unclear.
The finished works are presented as zines to be perused within the degree show space. Alongside this some specific excerpts have been chosen to be presented on the walls partnered with corresponding prints. Visitors to the show are encouraged to interact with the work in whatever way suits them, additionally PDFs will be available to read for free on my website.
