Inspired by collaborative residencies in Scalloway and West Penwith, this new body of work celebrates people, places and industries the artists encountered at far edges of the British Isles.
Working closely with local people, Sally and Evlynn explore traditions and work practices past and present. They reflect distinctive patterns, landscapes and rhythms of people’s lives such as Davie Robertson’s speed of filleting, the artistry of elderly Shetland maakers (knitters) Annie Henry and Emma Isbister, and Geevor Tin Mine’s former grizzly man (rock breaker) Eddie Strick.
