ACTS OF TRUST

Stephen | Morrison propose a continuing voyage through traditional stories linked to offlying islands.

The two artists won a British Award for Storytelling Excellence for their collaborative project "Acts of Trust" which presents responses to 3 stories as a group  of prints using the photo-gravure process.

They are planning to extend the range of the work by making a further series of prints  to  present an image and a text from the three voyages captured in the above photographs"


Sula Sgeir -  the story of the two brothers, a tradition collected by Ian and developed from the     experience of navigating its setting.

Stac Skerry -  a selkie tradition

Fair Isle - the story of Lucky Minnie - a traditional tale of an ogre

a proposal to explore:
the information contained in the photograph includes the specific time  of the experience -
the text is made, some years later, from what is captured in the image -
but they are lit by a colour identified in retrospect
