Cample Line in Dumfries is presenting 'The green fuse drives the flower', a solo exhibition of new work by Brighton-based artist Aimee Parrott. The show opened on 3 October and runs to 13 December 2026, installed across both floors of the gallery's building in southwest Scotland. The exhibition brings together a new body of work combining painting, printmaking and textile-based techniques. Parrott works with monotype printing alongside dye, applique, staining and stitching, building surfaces that carry the physical traces of time, gesture and touch. In conversation with writer Jennifer Higgie, she has described her approach as a kind of listening: paying attention, letting things happen, then honing them into form. Her practice treats the canvas as a fragile, permeable boundary, a stand-in for the body, and the new works continue her exploration of transitional states of being and processes of transformation, transference and exchange. The show's title comes from Dylan Thomas's 1934 poem about the force that drives growth and decay alike, a duality Parrott connects to her own experience: walks near the Neolithic site of Whitehawk Camp close to her home, the later stages of a twin pregnancy, and sheltering from summer heat all feed into the imagery. Forms emerge and dissolve through accumulated layers, moving between landscape, cell division and petals opening. Parrott, born in Brighton in 1987, was announced as a newly represented artist by Kate MacGarry in February 2026. Recent solo exhibitions include 'Waterborne' at Parafin Gallery in London in 2023 and 'Whitehawk Camp' at Mackintosh Lane in 2022. The Cample Line show is free, open Thursday to Sunday from 11am to 4pm, and wheelchair accessible.
