Comfort Me – Selma Augestad and Hazel Frost

Comfort Me is a joint exhibition by Hazel Frost and Selma Augestad. Through clay, textile and drawing, the exhibition reflects on undesirable expressions of emotions testing the conditionality of love.

 ‘Comfort me’ is both a provocation and a plea.

A dare – to love, when it is inconvenient, ugly and dark.

If it’s easy, it means nothing.

Selma and Hazel would like to invite you to the private view of the exhibition on the evening of 13 September at South Block, 6pm-8pm.

Hazel Frost is a visual artist, specialising in ceramics. Using clay as a language to respond to the environment, Frost explores relationships and nature through form and texture. Creating objects that sit between functional domestic ware and sculptural expression. 

Selma Augestad is a Norwegian visual artist based in Scotland. Through a practice of untangling and interpreting personal memories, Selma explores wider social themes with influence from mythology and rituals, as sites of connection, struggle and liberation.
