Art sprung from blood sports goes on show at Inverness

Art sprung from blood sports goes on show at Inverness

A brand new exhibition about hunting, shooting and fishing is being staged in the north.

According to organisers, the exhibition is a tribute to the skills and ingenuity of craft makers and artists responding to the necessity, functionality, beauty and brutality of the chase through the ages.

It opens at Inverness Museum and Art Gallery this Saturday.

Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the exhibition showcases crafts connected with the pursuits of hunting, shooting and fishing in the Highlands – once essential life skills but since recreational sports – illustrating how historic techniques and materials have been transformed by contemporary makers, including fly-tying, taxidermy and trophy fish carving.

Objects from the collections at Inverness Museum & Art Gallery, the Highland Folk Museum and Timespan with photographs from the Highland Photographic Archive, some of which have been interpreted by voluntary community curators are complemented by newly-commissioned artwork from makers within and outwith the Highlands illustrating how the crafts have developed today.

Artists include Kate MccGwire, Shauna Richardson, Laura West, Lizzie Farey, Nora Fok, Alison Weightman and Roger Brookes, Angus Ross and Patricia Niemann.

Six newly-commissioned films of interviews with key people, including a falconer, an estate owner, a fly-tier, jeweller, ceramicist and weavers, by film-maker Emma Dove with sound recordings by Mark Lyken provide a context for the exhibition.

The project has its own website www.lostcraft.highlifehighland.com which goes live this weekend also.

The exhibition runs until October 25.
