Cabrach Reconnections exhibition

Since 2021, Moray based artists Lynne Strachan and Mary Bourne have been working together as Cabrach Reconnections. They have been researching and responding to the history, nature and communities of The Cabrach, a fascinating and beautiful upland area just on the Moray side of the border with Aberdeenshire. Here, in common with many remote, rural Scottish communities, the pressures of depopulation and change seem to be becoming more acute.

In their latest exhibition they consider these pressures, how people’s lives have altered and what the future might hold. Research into tools and technology, homes and how they sit in the landscape and the climate which is blowing in all kinds of uncertainties have fuelled this work.

The exhibition will be at Square Deal in Huntly on Saturday and Sunday, 4th and 5th November. .At least one of the artists will be present at the exhibition at all times, and visitorsare welcome to come along and have a chat as well as viewing the work. Information about Cabrach Reconnections’ previous work can be found at www.cabrachreconnections.co.uk.

Between them Lynne and Mary have more than 50 years’ experience of working with communities and responding to places. You can find out more on their websites:
