We are delighted to have Liz Myhill RSW returning to the gallery for her second solo exhibition. her previous show explored, India, Cuba and Scotland while this exhibition is all about Scotland. The word “Stravaig” means to roam or wander without aim and in her own words:

“To stravaig is, for me, an unbounded freedom, it is where I feel most at home and content. It may only be as far as the end of the croft on Skye, where I roamed as a child; or it may be high into the mountains, along lonely coastlines or among scattered islands and skerries. These places observed in solitude exert a powerful hold, a desire to understand them more fully by bearing witness to their character as it undergoes subtle shifts through the hours, days, weeks, months and years.

Many of my works are completed in one burst of energy while out on location and subject to the inconstancy of changing weather conditions. Although challenging at times it is this unpredictability that I find so exciting – the raw power of the elements and their ability to shape the work. There is an urgency to being out in these conditions, a complete absorption in the moment. It is this absorption, this entanglement with nature that I seek out.”
