Middle Ground

I’ve just produced a 16 page hand-stitched pamphlet. It involved lots of faffing about with the pages so that I could fold a great big A1 sheet and stitch it in the old-fashioned way. The text is a piece of writing, which I called Middle Ground, because that’s what it’s about, the bits in the middle. The middle of Scotland, walking to Lawers by Loch Tay, crossing the middle altitudes between the coast and the mountain tops, and the sort of ground that covers most of Scotland where people used to live but now there are just sheep and deer. It’s illustrated with lino-cuts, mostly done for an exhibition at the Birnam Exhibition in November and December this year. I’ve also got some prints for sale at Open Studio event in Perthshire, at Bonnie Maggio’s glass studio.
