Threads in the landscape

How do you document the wind? Strong winds are a frequent feature of living in Orkney. This series of photographs and painting began with a walk to Mae Sands beach on Westray. I threw a length of black ribbon into the bank of Marran grass that borders the beach. The ribbon was taken up by the wind and made its own script. The painting Improvisation plays with this idea of scripts and movement.
