A huge thank you to everyone that came along on saturday for the opening of the show. It was a great day with lots of good conversations about the project and art making in general. And with some sales too it was a great success. Do drop along if you can, the show runs until the 22nd June.

Tomintoul and Granny Pine, Abernethy wood.

High pillowed clouds in the bluest sky in May, recedes to violet and smalll patches of snow still visible on the northern facing mountains. A tottering lapwing, worries its patch of earth. In the woods the towering Scots Pines, a few Grannies as they are known – the oldest, tallest, gnarliest of them, wild and unkempt in their dotage and beautiful. The sun slants to the forest floor picking out dog violets. Meet an elderly couple who walk here every day – he was head forester way back when. They have been married sixty two years. He talked about the once thriving capercaillies and the small woodland birds that would feed from his hand. Butterflies dart and birdsong fills the pine scented air.

My solo show ‘Waterland’ with Fidra Fine Art is opening soon – the preview is the Saturday 17th May in the afternoon. The work is based on the landscapes of Rannoch Moor and Methil docks. Unlikely bedfellows at first glance but they share the same indeterminate state of being. The old wooden piers at dock number 3 in Methil and the bog of Rannoch inhabit both land and water in that they are neither one thing or the other wholly. This constant state of uncertainty proved to be an interesting starting point to think about not only the landscape itself but perhaps other outside influences on myself this year. This has been a multi disciplinary project with drawings, paintings, an installation and small sculptural works. I do hope you can make it along, if not for the opening but at some point over its run with Alan at the gallery. There will also be a talk hosted by Alan and myself exploring some of the themes in the project. No date yet for this but I’ll keep you posted, it will be sometime during the exhibition. The dates are May 17th – 22nd June 2025.
