The Skinny Shop: David Lemm video interview

David Lemm is an artist and illustrator who lives in Edinburgh. He studied animation at Duncan of Jordanstone. You can see more of his work in the flesh in The Middle Place, an exhibition with fellow artists Jamie Johnson and Al White, in Edinburgh's Old Ambulance Depot, 4-13 May.

“I guess the main thrust of my work is finding structure or some sort of narrative or natural systems that occur within chaos and entropy, particularly within the natural world. I try to apply that to both my commissioned and personal work. I’m fascinated with cosmology and the need we have for structure in a belief system, the need to apply a framework on which we can find meaning in chaos.

“Solar Evolution is a fairly straightforward illustration of the evolution and life of the sun pared down to abstract shapes. Trying to convey that weighty concept as simply and elegantly as possible.”
