Steven MacIver - Visual Art Scotland - CONVERGE 2016

Visual Arts, Edinburgh
CONVERGE 2016 featuring:

Steven MacIver is re-presenting NEXUS, a major ambitious work, originally shown at the Dillon Gallery, New York which explores and translates Steven’s obsessive linear paintings into a giant three-dimensional installation using thousands of gold and silver threads.

Using Twilleys of Stamford, Goldfingering, Steven produces amazing installations. If you are in Edinburgh I think this exhibition is a must.
