Using pieces of used and bought fabric, alongside technological devices and other painted material, Tompkins will seek to embody a person interacting with their immediate environment, working through various thoughts, action and desires. Hayley Tompkins (born 1971, Leighton Buzzard) lives and works in Glasgow. Recent solo exhibitions include A Piece of Eight, The Modern Institute, Glasgow (2011);�Autobuilding, Inverleith House, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (2009); and Transfer (with Sue Tompkins) Spike Island, Bristol (2007). Her work is included in Watercolour, currently at Tate Britain, London. � A new 132 page publication covering Tompkins� work has recently been published. Designed by Marit M�nzberg, the book is published by Inverleith House, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and contains essays by Daniel Baumann, Pati Hertling and a conversation with artist Karla Black. Supported by Russell Tovey With special thanks to The Modern Institute/ Toby Webster Ltd, Glasgow Michael Jackson and other Men A new publication by Dawn Mellor Launch: September 2011 This new publication features a series of 37 drawings of Michael Jackson and a number of other public figures made by the artist when she was a teenager during the 1980�s. As well as a precursor to Mellor�s concern with celebrities and fan culture, the drawings indicate the burgeoning sexuality and artistic ambition of the young artist. Although often humourous, the series also is filled with pathos � both as a reminder of a tragic cultural icon and a more subjective document by a rather innocent young fan.
