On Wednesday Fiona and I went to see an exhibition in the Thurso Art Gallery by Hannah Imlach and Shaun Fraser. I was particularly taken by the work of Hannah Imlach whose work had a very strong environmental research and engineering perspectives.
Hannah's
research into peatland habitats resulted in sculptural objects and sculptural 'instruments' that reflected her findings and sketches from the peatland flora. Below are a few images from the exhibition and the video Hannah had made about setting up the pieces of work in the landscape that inspired them

I loved the way Hannah had brought together the detailed content of her research and sculptural design - impressive. I also loved Shaun's bronze casts of actual peat.
that first photo with the water and glass is a beauty, so intriguing!
