✨Artist Spotlight ✨
With the release of Heavy Elevator, Edinburgh-based Hamish Hawk established himself as a writer of heartfelt, unashamedly literate songs to stimulate both pulse and psyche. The album has been justly lauded. MOJO and The Times loved it. The Skinny pronounced it Scottish Album of the Year 2021. Its three singles were playlisted at 6 Music, where Hawk has become something of an in-house artist. Playwright David Greig compared him to Euripides and Christopher Marlowe. No pressure.
Its follow-up, Angel Numbers, will be released in early 2023. Hawk already looked to have a firm claim on posterity. With Angel Numbers, he has sealed the deal.
Frequently referring to plant species in his songs, Hawk spent his childhood playing in the grounds of Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Years later, he is singing his songs under Logan Botanic Garden’s exotic palm trees.

✨Artist Spotlight ✨
Rachel Sermanni is a Scottish singer-songwriter who makes mundane moments mystical: shock-positive pregnancy tests in train-station toilets, coffee machine breakages, cold river swims, the regret of not saying ‘I love You’, the pull of the moon, bare feet on wooden floors, the soft glow of a house plant, ‘what even is consciousness?’, strange dreams lingering in quiet mornings.
She brims with dreamy indie-folk pop that speaks of the struggle and desire to flow, to love, to live, to feel. Sometimes, her songs speak of the rare moments of quiet stillness, found in the midst of it all.

✨Artist Spotlight ✨
Last Boy makes brooding, emotive and sometimes earthy Scottish rock music. His distinctive voice stands out among uplifting and powerful backing tracks interwoven with traditional Celtic melodies. Looking at the subject of human mortality from a sometimes comical, often satirical, and always dry point of view, we see life through the lens of Last Boy (Haydn Park-Patterson). His modern-day poetry tells a myriad of stories of life in 2022 as he follows in the footsteps of predecessors John Cooper Clarke, Edgar Allen Poe and filmmaker Gregg Araki.

Seeing the Invisible Artist Spotlight: Ori Gersht
‘Forget Me Not’ by Ori Gersht is not one to miss! The work transforms 17th Century painting ‘Flowers in a Stoneware’ by Jan Breughel, into a 3 dimensional, living piece of digital art. Freed from the canvas, ‘Forget Me Not’, becomes an image of chaos and colour that viewers will be immersed in, a soundscape of humming bees overtaking the location. This artwork asks the viewer to think about our relationship with nature, and whether our love for the living world captured in art is as appreciated in real life.
Visit the Seeing the Invisible exhibition at The Botanics, to experience the many exciting, inspiring augmented reality artworks.
We would love to hear your thoughts and see your images by tagging us in #SeeingTheInvisibleRBGE.

Patrick Stratton, ‘Things I Do Sometimes: Put Toothpaste on Toothbrush’, 2020. Wool, Cotton, Linen and Electronics
Patrick Stratton’s moving tapestry has been catching the attention of many in Inverleith House. Through combining tapestry with mechanics, he creates a live, exciting image.
Stratton’s work is a fun and engaging twist on traditional tapestry weaving. "Things I do Sometimes: Put Toothpaste on Toothbrush" is part of his recent series of work, which combines the ancient artform of tapestry with wood and mechanics to document microsocial systems. Inspired by writers such as Samuel Beckett, Stratton observes small human moments from a playful, existentialist viewpoint.
His examinations of everyday occurrences serve to highlight their importance, despite their seemingly inconsequential nature, by employing a grand scale and referencing bold, pop art motifs. As Stratton says:
‘By making the work move, the complexity of each moment is transcribed, by weaving these moments, the importance of them is retained.’

Patrick Stratton was born in London in 1994. He first studied Mathematics and Philosophy at Leeds University before completing a master’s degree in Fine Art at City and Guilds of London Art School.
