Artist statement

‍Working along the edge between producing artefacts and seeding ideas Caroline’s practice is informed by archeology, Gaelic culture, botany and traditional skills. Conscious of our changing relationship with the natural world and these deep metaphysical connections, she seeks to bring into fresh focus aspects of this relationship.
