As part of his EAF25 exhibition, Edinburgh Printmakers invited audiences to an artist talk with artist Robert Powell and Dr Alasdair Richmond from the University of Edinburgh, School of Philosophy. The hybrid talk explored the artist’s exhibition Hall of Hours, an intricate multimedia work which takes inspiration from medieval Books of Hours.

Powell’s 2025 exhibition explores time through Robert Powell’s unique imagery capturing humanity’s complexity, grandeur, and folly in intricate and thought-provoking compositions. Inspired by medieval Books of Hours, the multimedia exhibition featured prints, sculpture, sound installation and animation, reflecting on how we experience, order and preserve time.
