Working in collaboration with Joe Mahoney, this video shows the children at an Lanntair during their Saturday Art Club Session. The workshops were linked to the Grounded exhibition and encouraged the children to think about the environment that they live in. The thought about colours and landscape and each produced a diorama of their perfect land. The dioramas were linked by portals and a ‘fly by’ of a video camera captured their unique vision. The video can also be viewed here.
For those new to the blog, the Grounded exhibition is now open at An Lanntair Art Gallery in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, from 13 September to 11 October, a partner event at Hebtember Festival.
The Grounded residency diary entries and photographs begin here in Scotland and then in Australia here. The book that accompanied the exhibition can be found at Exhibition explanatory book
