I am entering this Open because I have been involved in an artb project for over tgwo years - nearly full time - worning with Giles Perring , who lives on Jura, and Kirsty Law , distilling and creating an experiential art show ' Exposure' about the living on remote islands on the west coast of Scotland. We decided to tour this show through Scotland and try and do the exhibition on as many Scottish islands as we could. Our second venue was hulabhaig on Lewis. We all felt tremoundously postive about the experience of showing Exposure on Lewis. So that connection has been established bewteen my art practice and Hulabhaig and I am making this application to further that connection in the future.
