Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

  • Katie Harris-Macleod Contemporary Arts Practitioner Currently Lives and Practices on Gubbi Gubbi Country, Queensland, Australia
    Katie Harris-MacLeod Contemporary Arts Practitioner Currently lives and practices on Gubbi Gubbi Country, Queensland, Australia. B. 1993 Contact +61 (0) 492 898 590 [email protected] www.katieharrismacleod.com Instagram: @katieharrismacleod Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-harris-macleod-31455b167/ Artist Statement Katie Harris-MacLeod is a multifaceted Contemporary Artist. She was brought up on the West Coast of Scotland and across the Sunshine Coast region, Queensland, Australia; where she is currently based. Her work is deeply connected to nature, the psychogeography of place, and the life cycle, which Katie interprets as having three parts: birth, life and death. Nuances of folklore, multiple generation narratives, femininity, loss and isolation are all present within her work. These narratives are then recorded through a poetic exchange between the artist, landscape, performance and practice of the wild. Katie’s work is an exploration of self and place, as she experiments with natural elements as a way of responding to the landscape both viscerally, and spiritually. Natural pigments, salt water, wind and light – her cyanotypes, photography, paintings and performances document the colours and textures she encounters to enigmatic effect. “Interacting with this landscape (S.E, QLD, AU) has allowed my work to become fluid and intuitive, creating a deeper understanding of place and who I am within the context of these environs.” - Katie Harris-MacLeod, 2021. Katie is a recent graduate of Duncan of Jordonstone College of Art & Design, Dundee, Scotland. She was awarded a mentorship and residency placement on the Muir is Tìr sailing residency funded by SAIL BRITAIN and AN LANNTAIR, as part of ‘YEAR OF YOUNG PEOPLE 2018’.
