This work is part of a series that was inspired by the natural elements of the Scottish coastal landscape and a selection of Admiralty Charts of Scotland ranging from 1795 to 1963 provided by the National Library of Scotland. With this series I wanted to celebrate the undying interest that man has shown over decades and centuries in exploring and recording the landscape. Mapping nature could be seen as a way of taming it and making it understandable to our human minds but there is always an unpredictable component, an expressive force that goes beyond and keeps us guessing. This is the Hebridean piece.
