Inspired by Books - An Immersive Visual Arts Experience
‘Inspired by books - A visual arts project by Katie Squires’ is a celebration of art and books and how we imagine scenes from the books we are reading. Katie has been creating art inspired by her favourite novels written by Scottish authors or authors based in Scotland. Using different media, including printmaking, Katie has created a range of work to come together for a unique exhibition that is both immersive and multi sensory. This re-imagines the experience of getting ‘lost in a good story’. The art for the exhibition is inspired by books written by JD Kirk, Peter May, Ian Rankin, Neil Lancaster, Val McDermid, Ann Cleeves and Christopher Brookmyre.
