I’m delighted to share that my work Tide will be part of Future Folklore: The Art and Craft of Storytelling, presented by Visual Arts Scotland at the beautiful Maclaurin Art Gallery, 28 March – 27 May 2026.
The Maclaurin Art Gallery in Ayr, Scotland, is a highly regarded regional institution known for holding one of the best collections of 20th and 21st-century art in the country. Located in Rozelle Park, it is famous for hosting significant exhibitions, including those from the Royal Scottish Academy and the Society of Scottish Artists.
Key Aspects of Its Reputation:
Collection: Features a significant collection of modern art, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures from national and international artists.
Exhibitions: Regularly hosts high-profile exhibitions, including the Society of Scottish Artists' annual show.
Cultural Significance: Houses the 54-piece 'Tam o' Shanter' series by Alexander Goudie at nearby Rozelle House.
Partnerships: Works with organizations like the Royal Scottish Academy to display esteemed artworks.
Accreditation: Rozelle House, where the gallery is based, is an accredited museum, meeting UK standards for collections management.
It is widely considered a key cultural venue in South Ayrshire, attracting visitors for its diverse exhibitions, workshops, and events, according to Destination South Ayrshire.
Tide, Skye Tide, photographed on the Isle of Skye — a mesmerizing, mysterious piece shaped by wind, water, and time, presented in a wooden tray.
This mixed-media piece — a photograph from the Isle of Skye printed on Fuji gloss archival paper, embedded in eco-resin and presented in a wooden tray — reflects my ongoing fascination with Scotland’s landscape, folklore, and the stories carried by the sea.
Scotland’s myths and legends have travelled far beyond its shores, and it feels especially meaningful to exhibit a work inspired by Skye within this exhibition exploring how folklore continues to evolve.
