Andrew Carnie continues his creative exploration of the human body at the West Downs Gallery this autumn in this rare solo exhibition in the UK.

 

Wall-mounted drawings, watercolours, drawing machines, and inflatables feature in this project which examines ideas around metabolism, sunlight, sleep, and vitamin D. The work represents a journey set up by Carnie as a way of creatively thinking through making.

 

Expanding upon his continuing interest in the visual representation of the body and nature, this exhibition focuses on drawing, painting, and sculpture, instead of his usual large-scale immersive video works, engaging audiences in how we see ourselves through the world of science.
