RSA Open Exhibition 2026. Breaking Ground animation will be screened for the first time at the Royal Scottish Academy open exhibition. I am pleased to have two artworks included in this 200th annual exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy this year.
In this stop motion animated charcoal drawing, a figure is breaking through rocks. Pushing obstacles aside, the unstable ground cracking underfoot, falling through the patterns of rock inscribed by time. Entombed, and then the spirit rises again and begins the journey of the soul. My daughter, Amy Lee Jefferis, helped to compose the soundtrack with me.
The exhibition runs from 9 May-14 June and can be viewed online at the RSA here.
