The National Trust for Scotland’s Inverewe Garden is the setting for an unusual and thought-provoking exhibition of sculpture until 26 September 2008.
It is the first time that Inverewe Garden has hosted the exhibition for the Borders Sculptors, a group of professional and semi-professional artists living and working in the southeast of Scotland.
The eleven artists contributing to the exhibition work in diverse ways. Among the exhibits are Sam Wade’s highly engineered kinetic forms in metal and coloured perspex, Jane Gaze’s new work referencing the activities in Loch Ewe during World War 2 and ceramic works by Lesley May Miller and Su Nutgens.
Inverewe property manager Roy Dowsett said:
“The exhibition is really interesting and there is something for everyone. It is an eclectic mix of styles from ceramics to metal, includes work, which provokes thought, and work, which is pretty to look at.
“The response from visitors has been very positive. Most find it an interesting addition to the garden and are enthusiastic about it.”
