Looking at absence and presence within our current environment, these pieces, like the pieces in “cas chrom,” focus on a limited section of the shoreline of the Isle of Grimsay. The area is redolent with signs of past activity – an abandoned boat, rusted chain, peat cuttings – and in particular the traces of feannagan – “lazybeds”.
These pieces reflect the traces of feannagan in the landscape and include pigments made from the elements found here – mud, rust, seaweed, peat and ash.
