The Boobrie Den

Shapeshifts feed in a hidden cove, shedding the skins of seabirds, bulls, farm hands, and horses. They gather after centuries of luring the unsuspecting to a watery grave for sustenance and amusement. From loch and coast way, they have tread water, calling to each other with the voices of their victims, all the while their forms changing with the seasons to better sate an endless appetite.

Gruagach

'Gruagach, i.e. long haired one from, gruag, a wig, is a common Gaelic name for a maiden, a young woman, [...] In parts of Skye, however, the fold-frequenting gruagach is a tall young man with long yellow hair in the attire of a gentleman of a bygone period, having a little switch (slatag) in his hand, and with a white breast as if he wore a frilled shirt [...] This gruagach was attentive to the herds and kept them from the rocks. He frequented certain places in the fields where the cattle were. A gruagach was to be found in every gentleman's fold (buaile), and, like the glaistig, milk had to be set apart for him every evening in a hollow in a particular stone called clach na gruagaich ('the gruagach stone')...'

- This illustration of a Long Haired One protecting a calf from abuse is inspired by the above writing of folklorist John Gregorson Campbell in 1900 (from 'Superstitions of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland') quoted in Atlas Arts Making Publics Press deeply inspiring publication ùir-sgeul by Eilidh Mackenzie as part of her incredible recent exhibition of the same name at the Skye and Lochalsh Archive Centre.

Freedom Dance

Countless atrocities are broadcast by the minute and are met with indifference and banknotes. Our government and media are complicit in genocide and must be held to account. We see them now, and so will history. End the starvation. End the murder. End the occupation.

Free Palestine. Free speech. Free the arts.

Palestine's Dabke, music, textiles, stories and agriculture stand, move, and soar in defiance of systemic erasure.

It is a privilege to create, for my loved ones and I to live and do so in safety. I hope this image can help those who need our support, our ears, and voices the most right now. It is available to purchase on my store. Every penny raised will go to MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians) who are saving lives in unimaginable conditions designed by the Israeli occupation. This is about action and collective responsibility. I urge you to donate if you can.

Love and well wishes, Free Palestine.

Crotal

'a russet-coloured dye obtained from the lichen on rocks. Because crotal was thought always to be seeking its way back to the rocks it was believed that anyone venturing out to sea in crotal-dyed clothes would sink like a stone if he fell overboard...' - 'Skye' by Derek Cooper. An archive image of the lichen being collected from the shore inspired this image, though special spoons were used rather than blades, though the sea is seldom gentle in reclaiming its own.
