“Carpet of Leaves”
Caithness flagstone 1999
Scottish Poetry Library, Edinburgh
Client: The Scottish Poetry Library
Architect: Malcolm Fraser
Designed in collaboration with Malcolm
Fraser Architects this piece represents a carpet of oak leaves around the lectern in the open-air performance space at the
Poetry Library just off the Royal Mile in central Edinburgh. The intention is to evoke the atmosphere of a peaceful glade
in an oak wood in this urban setting, while at the same time helping to define the space around the speaker. |

“The Library is a powerful
demonstration of how art and architecture in collaboration can deepen philosophical conversation and make a positive contribution
to our cultural infrastructure.”
- ARCA on the Scottish Poetry Library 1999
