A series of limited-edition prints by Soulisquoy’s printmakers with the broad themes of mapping, journeying and viewpoint/s as the basis from which to create a wide and diverse collection.

Marian Ashburn’s work is rooted in close observation and a deep connection to place. Like Sylvia Wishart, she returns repeatedly to the same viewpoints, finding new life in familiar forms through careful looking and persistent drawing.

Tracing the Natural World is supported by the British Council’s Connections Through Culture programme and aims to connect Orkney and Vietnam through film, sound, and sensory perception, exploring how place is experienced through everyday life.
