Paul Eames studied BA (Hons) Fine Art: Painting at Camberwell School of Art, London, graduating in 1987. Since then he has combined his practice as an artist with a career in arts development and currently lives and works in Dunblane.

Periodically, between 1993 and 2014, he has collaborated with five other artists based in the Forth Valley, under the name of Hanging Together, to create one-off installations and interventions primarily, though not exclusively, in non-art spaces.  Paul is interested in how we place ourselves in the world and how we read or present ourselves and our experience. His work is about the objects or ‘things’ and spaces that we make and the stories they tell about our actions, relations and interactions, intended or otherwise. His interest is often focused on those things that are perhaps least functional (ie ornaments, souvenirs, found images/ cuttings, etc) – the less ‘profound’ of our creations.
