CAPTION is pleased to present Recordings, a solo exhibition with London-based artist Gillies Adamson Semple (b. 1996, Scotland). Rather than presenting finished objects produced elsewhere, the exhibition takes the studio as both subject and medium, with works emerging directly from the temporal and material accumulations of the studio itself. Compact assemblages of smoke-fired ceramics, wood from old organ pipes, oak and pine from the studio’s infrastructure, handmade and commercial paint, and other materials left circulating in the studio for years are arranged throughout the gallery as works somewhere between sculpture and proposition, resembling spatial studies or architectural maquettes. The exhibition features ceramics shaped in London and smoke-fired in the Scottish landscape, an alchemic process incorporating both natural and found materials subtly reflected on their surfaces. Other works have regained visibility by being coated with silver leaf, like voices gifted new registers.
