One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

Pygmalion and Galatea 1797
Louis Gauffier 1761-1801
Oil on canvas
The subject of this painting is a Greek myth, told by the Roman peot Ovid in his Metamorphoses.
Pygamlion was the King of Cyprus, who sculpted a statue of the sea-nymph Galatea. In answer to his prayers, it was brought to life by Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
Here she holds a butterfly above Galatea's head, symbolising metamorphosis, or transformation. The story represents man's search for ideal beauty.

Rae-yen Song
*May-May Song*
*May -May Song* is a project by Glasgow-based artist Rae-yen Song that explores the continuing construction of personal identity through storytelling. Costumes, sculptures, growing specimens, animation and large-scale drawings form an instillation which weaves a narrative about appetite and consumption within an imagined world.
The project is part of an ongoing process of world-building - the creation of and for the self - that draws on Song's personal and familiar histories. Although a personal exploration, the work speaks broadly about races, culture and identity by employing a visual language that resists existing definitions and familiar cultural references.

Harold Knight 1874-1961
Sewing circa 1924
Oil on canvas
Harold Knight was the husband of the celebrated artist Dame Laura Knight.
This is a tranquil scene of a woman in a yellow floral print dres, sitting before a table on which sits an old-fashioned sewing machine and piles of blue fabric. The woman is deeply absorbed in her work and sits slightly back from the table, bending over a piece of hand-sewing, in the light from the window on the extreme left.
The muted colours, the depiction of a woman engaged in solitary work and the cool Northern European light from the window recalls images of middle class domestic life by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer (1632-75)
Caroline Broadhead
Untitled II 2018
Vintage wooden frame, beads
Caroline Broadhead’s work investigates how works of art are constructed, exposing how familiar and overlooked artistic conventions such as the picture frame serve to subtitle reinforce the cultural norma of the times in which an image was produced.
She says “The exhibition ReFrame looks at the categorisation of a subject and how the subject is selected by boundaries that are decided by the frame. When this boundary is disruptive, made flexible or changeable, there is an element of chaos.”
