A Moray exhibition space has welcomed a unique harp installation which intertwines music and art.
The Harps and Arts of Ardival display has been inspired by Pictish standing stones and features an array of wooden musical instruments.
The exhibition – which will also include a musical recital from world-renowned harpist Bill Taylor – is on show at the Moray Arts Centre until the end of October.
Last night, a spokesman for the centre explained: “The harps of Ardival are designed by Bill Taylor, Alex Dunn and Graham Muir, based on interpretations of historical models on Pictish standing stones, in paintings and in documentary evidence.
“The harps are then made by Graham Muir, with great skill and precision, and have been sent all over the world.”
Mr Taylor plays ancient Scottish, Irish and Welsh music and is recognised as an “authority on the iconography of the harp” and its history.
The centre’s spokesman added: “The common ground between the harps and the pictures is that both are constructed objects.
“The harps are obviously made from wood, either hollowed-out or fabricated, and the pictures are built-up from paper, card, graphite and crayon.”
The event, Interpretation, Precision & Abstraction: The Harps & Arts of Ardival will run until Sunday, October 30 at the Moray Arts Centre in Findhorn.
Mr Taylor will host a recital on Sunday, October 16 between 2.30-4pm. Admission by donation.
