Law works and walks on the coastal fringes of Scotland. What is seen
and found along the way is expressed through a mixture of materials
and methods - text, drawing, painting and assembled found objects
which are often made in situ. Working with bone, wood, stone and rust,
artefacts appear bearing witness to history; to her own history and
to the history of the human condition and its connection with our
environment. The practical relationship that once existed between
our culture and its environs inspires her to construct, through the
process and completion of these artefacts, a new link with the natural
world, one which offers a window for people to view and reconsider
their own relationship with their surroundings. Within the reconstruction
and the making of tools and relics lie an understanding of our cultural
past, our engagement with the earth and the possibilities that lie
therein. |
