After Glass is a research project by Rachel McBrinn and Alison Scott, funded by the Creative Scotland Open Project Fund and in partnership with St Andrews Botanic Gardens.
Over the course of 2024, the artists conducted on site research at St Andrews Botanic Gardens as well as broader archival and site-based research. Their focus is on botanical conservation, maintenance, display and re-production, as well as the duplication of these practices across multiple sites. A key focus of their research is the recent decommissioning of SABG’s glasshouses, and the ideologies and histories these structures represent.
The project will culminate in an exhibition with the Travelling Gallery in Spring 2025.
