A Seamless Landscape, 2021-2022
A Seamless Landscape was a 2-part collaborative and participatory walking art project that took place in the Glenmore area of the Cairngorms and in partnership with Cairngorms Connect. Participants from the Cairngorms Connect partners, including RSPB, NatureScot, and the Cairngorms National Park Authority walked together with artists Louise Emslie and Louise Kernaghan to explore concepts of the physical and metaphorical boundaries within the Cairngorms Connect partnership area. By walking to the edge of the mapped boundary and taking part in a series of creative exercises, we discovered a different way of looking and being in a familiar landscape.
A digital zine was compiled with the participants contributions and can be viewed here. It is a collective piece of work bringing together some of those thoughts, words, drawings and sketches in response to the first walk.
