Jacqueline Duncan has been selected to exhibit in The Thread That Pulls, part of the VAS Biennial 2025 at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh. The exhibition opens its winter edition on 5 December 2025, bringing together artists whose work reflects long-term commitment, material exploration, and an attentiveness to memory and repetition.
About the Selected Work
For this show, Jacqueline presents Meander, a new piece from her Pin Series. Characteristic of her practice, the work engages with layered structure, rhythm, and spatial tension — inviting viewers into a quiet meditation on gesture, material presence, and the passage of time.
About the Exhibition
The Thread That Pulls brings together artists and makers from across disciplines, highlighting the “enduring nature of attention.” The exhibition reflects on how sustained preoccupations — with place, material, gesture, or idea — continue to resonate over time. Its curatorial proposal considers the “thread” both literally and metaphorically: fibre and stitch, the drawn line, and the invisible ties between people, objects, and memory.
This marks the first winter Annual Exhibition in more than six years, timed to coincide with the festive season and the Edinburgh Christmas Market — a context that heightens visibility and encourages fresh public engagement.
