The images in this exhibition, Skyestags, are set against the dramatic landscape of the Isle of Skye and the stunning Attadale Estate. These regal stags are the protagonists in a narrative that needs to be unravelled by closer inspection. My work has a recurring theme: the fragility of beauty and experience. It represents an endeavour to remember and preserve what once was. Not for nostalgia sake (we all know there no future in that), but rather how loss defines us. This series identifies the link between Landseer’s paintings and the identity of a small, passionate, northern European nation called Scotland.
