This new exhibition of paintings by Claire Harkess documents both the starkness
and the beauty of the island of St Kilda. These poetic water colour paintings
are not reflections of a photographic vision but offer instead an artist’s
impression and personal response to this extreme, inhospitable landscape
and the birdlife it sustains. The images created are the visual expression
of ideas of transience and endurance, balance and precariousness, darkness
and light, and through them Claire reveals the essence of this hostile environment
and allows the viewer to enter into the spirit of the place.
