TOMORROW NIGHT! ✨

An Lanntair Exhibition Opening: CEARNS | Deljeem Rai

In 2024, Island Darkroom was delighted to host Deljeem's first solo show and first exhibition on his home island. It's been a pleasure to since support and follow Deljeem's work and creative journey as he goes from strength to strength - we can't wait to see 'Cearns' at An Lanntair!

Where: An Lanntair, Main Gallery
Opening Event: Friday August 28th, 5PM
Exhibition Run: Sat 29 Aug – Sat 10 Oct

CEARNS
"... This body of work is born from a twofold desire: firstly, through portraiture and environmental photography, to express the sense of community and belonging he found there; and secondly, to give the people of the community an opportunity to express themselves, their story and their home on their own terms, rather than through the assumptions and expectations of others.

The project offers a view of an island community that challenges traditional ideas of life in the Outer Hebrides, cementing the Cearns community as a vibrant and valid part of island culture."

Book Highlight ✨

In our book corner you'll find this beautiful book "Painters' Tools' by artist Sarah Larby.

Painters’ Tools is a paperback photobook that explores the hidden labour of creativity through an intimate study of artists and the tools they use. It is a typological series of close-up images of the objects of making – brushes, chisels, pigments, palettes etc. The work highlights the quiet beauty of everyday materials and the often-overlooked relationship between maker and tool.

Across 200 pages, the book reflects on the intimacy of studio practice, revealing how tools become extensions of the artist’s hand. At the back of the book you will find a small essay about the project by Sarah Larby and portraits to showcase the artists involved in the project.

£35, available directly from Island Darkroom Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm, or if you're not on-island, get in touch.
