Andrea Roe and Cath Keay

Andrea Roe is a lecturer at Edinburgh College of Art and was Leverhulme Trust artist in residence at Scotland's Rural College from April 2016-17. Her work examines the nature of human and animal biology, behaviour, communication and interaction within specific ecological contexts. She has undertaken residencies in a number of institutions - ranging from the Wellcome Trust to the Crichton Royal Hospital, to the National Museums of Scotland - where she has learned about and responded to research projects and collections. <br> <br> <strong>Cath Keay, Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at ECA, focusses on sculpture and architecture as two ways to explore constructed form. Her thesis examined collaborative and 'un-authored’ strategies in sculpture and artists’ writing. She has worked with beekeepers and biologists to create artwork altered by the actions of social animals and so-called ‘pest’ organisms. As Helen Chadwick Fellow at the British School at Rome she encouraged ants to adapt political sloganeering. Her Middlesbrough Modern Beehives re-presented modular Brutalism as functioning beehives.</strong>
