Per Mare 200
24th
- 27th July 2017
Louise Barrington, Kerrianne Flett, Calum Gilles, Nick Gordon, Mary Grieve, Frances Scott, Sigurd Smith
The
artists took as their inspiration an extract from Per Mare: The Stromness Pageant, 1967 by George Mackay Brown.
The street uncoiled like a sailor's rope from north to south
And
closes swarmed up the side of the hill
Among
gardens and clouds,
And
closes stepped down to the harbour
And
the nets and whitemaas.
