Firmament: Exploring the Industrial Echoes of Prestongrange.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening at SETT Studios on Thursday, 16th October 2025<\/strong> Cawood\u2019s latest presentation draws on several years of research and creative experimentation to produce work that delves into the layered industrial history of Prestongrange \u2014 once one of Scotland\u2019s most significant brick and tile works, and home to early coal mining operations dating back to the 12th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition takes its title from the Latin firmamentum<\/em>, meaning \u201ca firm object\u201d or \u201ccelestial barrier.\u201d This dual sense of strength and mystery resonates through Cawood\u2019s practice, which merges meticulous, archival study with deeply material processes. His works \u2014 ranging from \u201ctextual objects\u201d to experimental photographic pieces on tile \u2014 embody a physical and conceptual dialogue with the site\u2019s past. Each piece is the result of labour-intensive techniques that mirror the endurance and transformation embedded in the landscape itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firmament<\/em> represents the culmination of Cawood\u2019s investigations into site, value, and industrial heritage<\/strong>, revealing a body of work that is both contemplative and tactile. Visitors will encounter a collection of pieces that evoke the textures of history, reimagined through the lens of contemporary art. Notably, the exhibition also introduces new, never-before-seen works<\/strong>, offering a first glimpse into the artist\u2019s latest explorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening event takes place on Thursday, 16th October<\/strong>, with two sessions: a bookable Quiet Opening<\/a><\/strong> from 3pm to 5.30pm<\/strong>, designed to provide a relaxed, accessible experience, and the Main Opening<\/strong> from 6pm to 8pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the launch, the exhibition will be open for public viewing on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
