Our daily life on the Isle of Mull is a blend of art and existence, where the boundaries between creation and routine dissolve. Our practice is deeply rooted in the land, emerging from a close connection with our surroundings. We engage in a continuous process of learning and unlearning, cultivating a profound, tacit knowledge that comes from hands-on experience and mindful observation.
Every day, we embrace the necessities of life, finding beauty and inspiration in the rhythms of daily tasks. Whether tending to the garden, foraging, cooking, or working on creative projects, each activity is a cornerstone of our culture. These actions are not just tasks but integral parts of our artistic practice, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and community.
Working with the land teaches us resilience and adaptability. Through this engagement, we learn to see the world differently, appreciating the intricate details and subtle changes in our environment. This daily lived practice informs our art, fostering a unique perspective that is deeply grounded in our experiences.
Our studio is a living space where creativity flourishes in every corner. We embrace the ebb and flow of inspiration, allowing our surroundings to shape our work and our work to influence our way of living. This dynamic interplay between art and life enriches our practice and helps us build a more holistic and sustainable way of being.
By grounding ourselves in the present and engaging with the land and community, we create a vibrant tapestry of stories and insights. These narratives are shared through our art, contributing to a broader dialogue about the relationship between humans and their environment. Daily life is an ever-evolving journey of discovery, creativity, and connection.
