Mary Morrison is from the Outer Hebrides and much of her work draws from the space, light and elemental qualities which are unique to the islands. Her work suggests liminal spaces, edges, tidal lines – always shifting.She evokes a sense of place and natural forms through the use of materials which include oil, pigment and beeswax. Fluid paint effects often combine with graphic elements and annotation relating to mapping, measuring and music, creating an additional visual language and tension within the paintings.
Mary is interested in the idea of Geopoetics, which “is concerned, fundamentally, with a relationship to the earth and with the opening of a world.” (Kenneth White)
Alongside works inspired by the Atlantic archipelago, the exhibition will also include works relating to the landscape of the Scottish Borders.
