Gillies Adamson Semple is a Scottish born, London-based artist and curator working with modes of display and apparatus to build and present visual syntax. Often isolating moments from conversation and systems of communication; phrases, images and diagrams become repositioned and re-evaluated within constructed frameworks, attempting to give a different voice for material with ‘real-world’ provenance. His work looks at repositioning histories as counter-weights to nostalgia, drawing from moments of personal encounter and broader events as material to become reframed within his own visual language.
