A Place to Reflect
This exhibition is the culmination of over two years working at Clyans Dam, in Monymusk. The Pond or Dam as it is known locally, evoked memories of a similar place in Kent, England, which she explored as a child. Both Ponds have inspired a wealth of sketches, Clyans Dam being the main source of material used for the two larger works on show.
Having spent some time in the GHAT Gallery, waiting - I wanted to try and transform the area, in effect bring the outside indoors. To convey something of both places, the ponds in Kent and Clyans Dam, a sense of their space and boundaries, and of light and mystery.
