"Elle and Máté are two Glasgow-based creatives. Elle is a practising heraldic artist and calligrapher for the Court of Lord Lyon in Edinburgh, and in her personal practice works primarily with sheep’s wool and felt to create eerie portraits and decorative dreamscapes. Máté is an architecture graduate and has been interested in material science since the beginning of his career, exploring processes of growing, harvesting, foraging and transforming organic and sustainable materials into intricate structures and proposals. They are both interested in the social and sociological effects of their work, which often manifest in practical metaphors.
"A warm, woollen pupa to insulate your growth, holding up a spreading canopy under which you can share and extend yourself. The necessary interplay of lonely introspection and social expression, supporting one another. This is a space for you to transform. Take a moment to trace your outline among the slumbering felted figures. When your energies are restored, pass under the branched canopy which sways in the wind, overjoyed at your emergence. Stretch. Perform. Play.
