Yesnaby 2 is part of the Scottish Society of Artists online exhibition Tides Changing – Changing Tides - 26 November – 20 December 2020 - ssa.viewingrooms.com

Tides Changing | Changing Tides highlights responses by contemporary artists to our coast and waters. The selected artists – all members of the SSA – work in a number of different media, and have all dealt with the subject matter in a very varied way, often exploring and depicting very personal experiences.
The exhibition was initially planned and curated as two separate shows, which were due to be held at Old Gala House in Galashiels earlier this year. Unfortunately, neither show could go ahead because of Covid-19, and we are very pleased to be able to present the work in a digital format instead.

Meditation on shepherd's lantern
Print on Japanese paper

‘Tools for Survival’ – a continuing conversation between artists Jenny Pope, Liz Douglas and Felicity Bristow will be shown at Wasps Briggait, Glasgow.

For this exhibition the artists have created new work that investigates ‘tools for survival’ with a specific focus on the urban environment of Glasgow and the rural environment of the Scottish Borders, using artefacts from Hawick and Selkirk Museum archives and Hawick museum and other relevant sources to inspire, question and challenge notions of what it is that is required to ‘support our survival’ in current times both on a personal level and in abstract in a contemporary visual context.

Below is an invite for the private view on Thursday 8 August 2019 from 6-8pm.
We do hope that you will come.

The exhibition continues until 29 August 2019
