Neoscope is Alasdair Watson’s @Alasdair_Watson his first solo exhibition and launch of his latest photozine.

Alasdair’s analogue photography of Scotland’s standing stones is put into dialogue with NASA’s space telescope imagery, creating a conversation across 5000 years, and a collaboration between the astronomers of our past and our present. 

Cocoon Series (2023), created in response to Rozsika Parker’s (1984) the Subversive Stitch, follows a line of enquiry into the use, context and connotations of textile fibre traditions.

Such processes are considered domestic, considered craft, and most often considered women's work. Through their employment in fine art sculpture, Roscoe hopes to challenge this by subverting these limiting perceptions. By applying the processes to a new format, within a new context, Roscoe hopes to help give the material a platform thus renewing its definitions.

Unknown Ties

It happened before
And it will happen again
Sometimes things change but mostly things stay the same

We will understand
And maybe we won’t
Sometimes we are different but mostly we stay the same

Unknown ties divide us
Unknown ties connect us 
somehow all at once.
