Interview: In the studio with Scott Ramsay Kyle
Scott Ramsay Kyle makes work that is simultaneously abstract and figurative, provocative yet delicate. With a background in Fashion and Textiles, studying firstly at Glasgow School of Art and continuing to pursue a Masters at Central Saint Martins, Ramsay Kyle specialises in hand-embroidery and has worked in collaboration with many designers. In 2014 he embarked on a PhD from which his recent series of work began. These works make evident his eye and skill in fashion and textiles but are equally indebted to his playful nature and his ability to discuss personal matters with openness and honesty. La petite mort comes to mind when viewing his works, with their intoxicating mixture of sex, beauty, flowers, melancholy and pain.
