Part of a map of an imagined landscape commissioned for the ground floor foyer of Eden Court Theatre to aid flow through the spaces. The map takes as its reference point the maps found at the beginning of stories: maps of Moomin Valley, Swallowdale or Middle Earth, for example, and is seen as a backdrop against which dramatic narratives – or everyday lives - can unfold.
 

 
“. . . navigation symbols on the ground floor sit beautifully in the imaginative context of the theatre.”

Part of a series of images of Scottish landscape seen from above commissioned to aid flow in Eden Court Theatre’s 1st floor foyer. The distances involved in travelling from place to place in Scotland are such that flying is often the most practical option. From above the landscape is experienced very differently from on the ground: surface and texture become more clearly defined: velvety black moorland is punctuated by flat, glittering water or lines of mountains lacy with snow.

 

 
“At the end of the sequence . . . two glass panes at right angles open the corridor to light and make visible the etched design of an exquisite wide arc of shoreline, ebbing with foam on the floor.”
- Georgina Coburn, Northings - Highlands and Islands Arts Journal, December 2007
