Graeme Murray

Sculpture graduate from Edinburgh College of Art, Director of Graeme Murray Gallery, Edinburgh and The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh and publisher of international art books with Graeme Murray Edinburgh and The Fruitmarket Gallery.

With the health of our planet, and by extension our civilisation, in such peril, how we act in the world requires serious consideration. My intention is to work creatively within the Scottish woodland culture, sharing skills and knowledge with Real Wood Studios makers and colleagues as well as others working in relevant areas of activity, whether in Scotland, nationally or indeed internationally.

Working in a collective that aims to manage a business that is appropriate to its place and context, an evolution is possible that is truly sustainable and not compromised by short-term “shareholder value”.

Studio practice with a workshop collective encourages the sharing of experience that allows harmonious solutions to be found.

By working together to manage a sustainable cycle of timber sourcing and processing, we gain a greater understanding of what the materials can achieve and, in due course, through careful and skilled working, achieve results that are a source of beauty.
