My practice spans from drawings on paper, to embroidery and knitting, to installation or live drawing in theatre. I draw because it is intimate, fragile, nomad, experimental, immediate, in-between thinking and making, secret and underground : the medium of freedom. Ultimately my practice is about ‘creative resistance’ : a slowly but surely way of defying the everyday through a creative act. For me this takes the form of “(with)drawing”: retreating from the pattens of ordinary life and striving to make, live and think otherwise. Currently I am creating a series of printed multiples, combining drawing and writing, to be scattered here and there.

Flore Gardner is a Scottish-French artist living and working in Edinburgh.
Before obtaining her Doctorate in Fine Art at the Sorbonne University in Paris, she studied medicine for two
years in Edinburgh, and this has largely influenced her practice.
Flore has been showing her work in the UK and internationally since 2004. She opened an artist-restaurant in
Marseilles, and collaborated with the writer and theatre-maker Annie George to make ‘Twa’ (which premiered at
the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2018). She received a Royal Scottish Academy bursary to learn to printmake,
and this year a CS Open Fund award.
