Fiona MacRae’s new series of mixed-media works brings together found timber and other sea-worn surfaces gathered over a lifetime of beachcombing along Scotland’s west coast.

The artist writes: “When Covid hit, we had just sold our house on Tiree of 54 years. A lifetime of beachcombing finds was cleared from the house and my immediate thought was, if I die, this will all be dumped or burnt. All these bits of wood have had a previous life, ended up in the sea for whatever reason, possibly crossed the ocean. They are about drawing attention to things we would normally disregard and my observation of colour in my immediate environment; no two colours are the same as I am constantly mixing.”
