Many a winding turn

Great news! Last week we were awarded a new commission from HIE. The commission is for a temporary artwork in John O'Groats. We have joined forces with some other great artists: Skint, Mike Inglis (Space Boy), Soul Relics and Macism - all of whom we worked with on Rough Cut Nation.

The project is entitled "Are We There Yet?" and is going to be an exploration of childhood, the excitement of holidays, destinations, journeys and travel. We are planning to use the old John O'Groats hotel as our canvas - covering large areas of the building in paint (I don't think ventilation should be a problem!).

Look out for a week long spray-painting session towards the end of June! - AL
