Synopsis

The Outer Hebrides is an island archipelago on the remotest north-western periphery of a bigger island archipelago, itself part of Europe's Atlantic coastline. And what is Atlantic Europe if not the north-western tip of the vast land mass of Eurasia? Here is an unrivalled sense of place, on the edge, the periphery, the brink.

Bruce Kendrick has been visiting these islands, regularly, since 1970. Art & Nature in the Outer Hebrides combines his highly commendable nature writing with fascinating stories of folk he has met over the years who create wonderful art and crafts in these remote islands. How do these artists, be they painters, potters, photographers, or poets, interpret their world of nature, their culture, their heritage, here in the wilds of the north-east Atlantic Ocean?

If there is one trait these Hebridean-based artists do have in common it is their single-minded determination and persistence to create art, in all its many guises, from out of the deep well of their own imagination and their inescapable world of nature's beauty and inspiration. So come along and enjoy Bruce's fine narrative style as he travels from Lewis in the north to Vatersay in the south where nature prevails and art flourishes.

À propos de l'auteur

Bruce Kendrick is a photographer and wildlife enthusiast of long standing - and in recent years has become an author. What started out as a plea to record his life's journey in nature, from one of his daughters, resulted in An Eye for Birds and Art & Nature in the Outer Hebrides, both of which can be found on this website!
