Trees Meet Sea
Trees Meet Sea was an exhibition of my poems paired with visual artworks, shown in 2022 at Inverewe Garden and Dundee Botanic Garden. The artists are Lynn Bennett-Mackenzie, Ann Coomber, Dorje Khandro Dawid, Helen Denerley, Chris Goodman, Lotte Glob, James Hawkins, Jan Kilpatrick, Kirsty O’Connor, Bill Ritchie, David Sandum, Fergus Stewart, Kathy Sutherland and Peter White and their works encompass video, painting, etching, sculpture, textiles and ceramics. The poem-art pairs have been brought together in an elegant, tall-slim format pamphlet, designed by Gerry Cambridge.
The poetry is a mixture of tree poems and sea poems, some of which are previously published, some new. Together with their images, they express my home habitat in Assynt, where the woods fringe the ocean, where seaweed smells mingle with the scent of honeysuckle, where curlews and cuckoos call in spring and gales march in from the Minch to set the trees dancing.
A few of this limited edition of 200 pamphlets are available. Get it while you can!
