Now open at The Scottish Gallery, Contemporary includes seven versatile artists whose works explore contrasting elements of modern life, each with their foundation in the natural environment. I’m exhibiting a selection of one hundred “days” from my Where Once the Waters series – originally presented at the 2022 Venice Biennale as the portrait of one year at sea – alongside two seascapes painted upon antique canvas created during lockdown in 2020 and exhibited for the first time here. Two further pieces from my Rising Horizon series – the project that inspired Where Once the Waters – can also be found, and the gallery has a trio of gouache seascapes painted onto wooden drawers viewable upon request.
