Remnants

Ian Rawlinson’s work explores places of transition and aspects of change. These points of transformation are a recurring theme throughout his work, giving voice to ideas of identity and connection. His recent projects draw upon ideas of place and memory and he has produced a series of exhibitions and short films inspired by transitional areas connected to his past.

Rawlinson developed an interest in art through making drawings and diagrams. He was introduced to printmaking and studied at Winchester School of Art and the Royal College of Art where he was encouraged to work with an expansive approach incorporating printmaking, drawing, construction, installation, photography and writing into his practice. He has continued to pursue this philosophy throughout his career, exploring ideas and imagery through a variety of different media. He often makes interlinking works which refine and develop an idea; drawing out its essence through variation and reconstruction.
