She works with forensic science and medicine, including police and judicial processes and collaborations with the Medical Research Council’s Social and Public Health Sciences Unit at Glasgow University. She has said, "The heart of what I am trying to discuss is very dark, very strong and passionate, and if you can reach that through quite a rational process, I think it
becomes more powerful, and importantly, more powerful to the viewer."
Aesthetics and ethics are key aspects of Scottish artist Christine Borland's work. We visit the artist in her studio to learn more about her interest in human anatomy, and why it's not a bad thing for questions to go unanswered.
Artists in Profile is a series of films that explore the ideas, materials and processes of some of the best-known contemporary artists working today. Filmed in the artists’ studios from Argyll & Bute to Berlin; in train stations, a primary school, the shore of a loch, and the Glasgow Necropolis; these videos aim to give an insight into the spaces where artists create their work, and the places that inspire them.

BTB23: Christine Borland, Projection Cloth
In Christine Borland’s installation at Pendle Heritage Centre’s Cruck Barn, four films are cast onto a Projection Cloth of fustian, a mix of linen warp and cotton weft, woven into the fabric of this medieval cruck barn. Developed through the artist’s intimate engagement with the growing, spinning and weaving of plant fibres, the films reflect on the lives of women in transition from hand working, through mechanisation and industrialisation into the digital age.
The work touches on the enduring symbolism of the spinning wheel and distaff in the demonised image of women as witches, having particular resonance in Pendle where 10 women and 1 man, some of whom were handloom spinners, were the last to be hanged in England for the offence in 1612.
