Fortingall Art is on the go this week, with our Splinter Group River project all hung in its little alcove in the Molteno Hall. It’s probably our most ambitious and diverse show there to date. The River theme has proved a real inspiration. It brought out all our individual styles and allowed us to broaden out our printmaking too. Alyson MacNeill has done a series of beautifully detailed and -lively multi-coloured lino prints inspired by the rivers Tay and Dee and the birds, people and trees that live along them. Philippa Swann has been playing with monoprints and reflections in moving water to make exquisite wood engravings that show her love of pattern and texture. Becky Coope has produced a series of precisely cut and elegant wood engravings of the buildings and landmarks around the mouth of the Tay at Dundee and Brought Ferry and Penny Kennedy played with patterns formed by her dumpy little dippers amongst round river pebbles and joyful jumping fish. And Linda Farquharson showed her naked lady lying in the landscape and smothered in flowers. What next?
