This exhibition has been on tour since 2009 when it opened in Caithness Horizons with a parallel exhibition at the Anchorage Art Gallery in New Zealand the same month. Now in Ullapool, this is the last venue. This is what Mandy Haggith had to say about it:
"...I particularly enjoyed the layer upon layer of history and response in Joanne and Lynn’s work. A story from the ship unravels through a string horse and five bottles of whisky. Three aprons (one to protect a dress, the next to protect the first apron, and a third, made out of sacking, to protect the other two) emerge from Lynn’s log book and are given physical form by Joanne. Seeing such an integrated body of work it is incredible to discover that the two artists have never actually met..." Click here to read her review in full.
I'll give the last few words to George Gunn "This is art with a purpose and it is rare.." an extract from his review, to read it in full click here.

It has been wonderful to see the different ways the show has been curated - in accordance to spaces or as things have evolved - so many dynamic displays. Love the way you have put unravelling string on the wall.
Hi Lynn,
Yes in each venue the Westland looked very different. It only worked thanks to your commitment to the project - working with an artist you'd never met!! Thank you. What next?!
I'm keen for a 'next"!!
