Passion – Paint, textiles, photography, print – a response to global warming by like-minded artists
Passion brings together a number of artists – Sylvia Davey, Margaret Findlay, Scapa Joe, Marianne Ruth King, Genevieve Matthews and James Wyness – whose work investigates the idea of environmental change, be it small changes in the immediate environment or larger changes observed in the global environment. It might indeed be said that the artists share an individual and a collective passion for work that closely examines environmental change.
In 2025 Jedburgh artist Marianne King invited a group of artists to respond freely to the theme of the exhibition and this display shows their responses across a wide range of media – from recycled textiles, beach litter and wire to photography, printmaking and painting with watercolour, oils and acrylics. The result is a collection of thought-provoking artwork.
