This summer I kayaked across the Minch. I camped on the edge of an Arctic tern colony, stayed on the whirling bird universe of the Shiants and made landfall in Lewis at abandoned settlements. A midsummer sea passage with birds, minke whales, arrivals and departures and a sense that when you are in the middle then that’s when you are most at the edge.
I’ve been processing this journey for a while through sketches and collages.
Here are some new paintings that are part of this process.
These will form part of our exhibition EDGE.in Edinburgh opening 26 sept – 9 October with 4 fellow Uist Artists.
