Kim Stephens is an artist
based in Ibrox, Glasgow. She studied Contemporary Textiles at Norwich
University of Arts. Currently her practice focuses more on painting and
printmaking. Her work explores play between texture and colour; something that
she takes from her floristry and textile background.
The works displayed were made in collaboration with her 4-year-old son Ravine. Her and Ravine are frequent Craft Club attendees in Ibrox Library. In this series, the offcuts collected from the weekly craft club sessions are used as stencils, creating textured and graphic compositions. The selected papers are arranged in layers on a Gelli Plate. This printing method produces spontaneous and quick monotypes (a unique print that can only be printed once). The immediacy of this method allows Kim to capture the moments of chaos that happen in the process of working with a child.

Location Map
Ibrox library was designed by Rogerson & Spence and opened in 1981. The building originally had a children’s project room, community room, toilet for people with disabilities and public telephone. All of these areas are still in use to this day with the exception of the telephone. Ibrox was one of the first real learning centres in Glasgow to be created from the existing network of community libraries, officially opening in April 2000.
