The launch event is in the Sawyer Gallery at 2pm on Saturday 6th August. The final portrait of Mairi Sawyer will be revealed at the launch. As Pamela explains: "within our joint exhibition at the Sawyer Gallery, with the main focus being our collaborative portrait of Mairi Sawyer, we have each been exploring the impressions left on us from our time spent at Inverewe Garden. Erlend has taken inspiration by the forms, colours and patterns of the plants, creating a series of watercolour studies, whilst I have been exploring the form and shapes within various plants, creating a mass gathering of characters who give a sense of being the nature spirits of the gardens." 📷 The Pollinators (detail)/ pencil and watercolour on paper / Erlend and Pamela Tait #ssa #ssamembernews #ssamember #exhibition #visualartist #artevent #whitespacegallery #erlendtait #pamelataitart #collaboration #teamtait #inverewegardens #nationaltrustforscotland #moths #pollinators🐝 #mairisawyer #sawyergallery #poolewe
