Coinciding with Dovecot’s exhibition, Mid-Century Modern: Art & Design from Conran to Quant, this display titled Pinboard: Postcards from Edinburgh featured on the Tapestry Studio Viewing Balcony. An ongoing project, these pieces rekindle Lees’ relationship with her home city, while also celebrating Scotland’s mid-century architectural gems.
Laura Lees says, “I’m from Edinburgh, renowned for the medieval and neoclassical architecture you usually see on tourist postcards, but I’m drawn to its modernist buildings such as the Royal Commonwealth Pool. I am delighted to be displaying these works at Dovecot Studios to highlight the fantastic mid-century modern architecture of Edinburgh and to see my work in the context of a leading tapestry studio.”
