'........overhead, the long skein unravelling and re-forming, an immense living calligraphy that, however many times you see it, still spells out ‘This is Great Business’. It is as near a sacred message as you will get from the natural world....’

A Brush with Nature

37 Red Leaves
Diary of a year, March 2010 – March 2011

These monoprints are an account of a year I spent observing the movement of nature and life in and around Cuil Bay. I have tried to capture the small and big things that help us keep count, to mark the passage of time, like the red leaves of an acer tree clinging on just after the big shedding or the V of migrating geese seen through falling snow.
I have chosen the medium of monoprint to record these happenings.
Most of these prints have been made at Highland Print Studio in Inverness
Here is a selection of monoprints from the diary on show at Rhueart August 2012.
