Of Land and Sea: Contemporary Interpretations of Orkney Folklore was our fourth exhibition as a collective with work focused on Orkney folklore. As a diverse group of artists and designers, our exhibited work encompassed a range of disciplines, from photography, painting and ceramics, to textiles, sculpture and installations. Through these different mediums, Of Land and Sea brought a contemporary perspective to the theme, influenced by the fireside tales of Orkney's past.
