It is always at this time of year in the northern hemisphere, as winter solstice approaches and the days are at their shortest, we find ourselves increasingly drawn to the products and projects that explore light. Among these, candlelight remains the most captivating, offering both comfort and ritual.
This winter, Scottish gallery Bard in Edinburgh (which launched in 2022) embraces this ancient fascination. Here, 20 makers and artists from all over Scotland – working in stone, woods, ceramic, silver, leather and steel – have bathed the space in the soft glow of candlelight, showcasing their own interpretations of the humble candlestick.
