LK243 UnderSail Exhibition Tour
I spent 5 weeks onboard the Swan during the Tall Ships Races 2011 as artist in residence, with a one month on land in North Uist and Shetland to start getting thoughts and ideas down on paper. After a further six months the exhibition was ready to tour starting at an talla solais in Ullapool, Scotland in April 2012.
The exhibition has then travelled to:

IMPACT print conference, Dundee, 2013
