## Resource

Edinburgh artist Jamie Fitzpatrick unveils his provocative new exhibition, “Memorials to Sausage Politics,” at Edinburgh Printmakers—running until October 25—where he reimagines city statues as comic, monstrous sculptures and painted screen prints. Blending clay, foam, and rubber, Fitzpatrick exposes the absurdities of power and class through a funhouse mirror lens. This show marks a bold shift into printmaking, using bronze pigments and collage to scale up civic iconography, revealing how art and propaganda shape public memory. Backed by RSA and Henry Moore Foundation, the exhibition is hailed as a standout of the Edinburgh Art Festival, celebrating Fitzpatrick’s inventive, research-driven fusion of sculpture and print.
