Glimpse, one of the Featured Projects in the Environmental Art Festival Scotland, is an ephemeral installation just off the A701 – we went into the woods at the Barony, but perhaps the best way to see the work is as you travel along the road between Dumfries and Moffat.

Cinema Sark at the Environmental Art Festival Scotland.  It’s not often that video presented as sited work so elegantly uses it’s setting, or so engrosses the viewer.  This work is a meditation on the many dimensions of the Sark, the river that divides Scotland and England in the West.  The space under the M6 motorway is both a constant reminder of the context, but also an ideal location for the screening.
