Stone Collection.......
|
|
| The residency
was split into two parts. First working with children in schools
and finally produce work for an exhibition. Her collection is called
'Unlocking Caithness' |
|
|
|
"The
work takes you on a journey peeling back time and 'Unlocking Caithness'.
It shows things we leave behind, such as tattered fabrics, or
rusty pipes which are reminders of past inhabitance. The whole
journey shows how wind, salt, sea and the elements have determined
the landscape". |
|
Exhibits
reflect the remote area of Caithness seen through the eyes of
Jeanette. |
