Upcoming Exhibitions
29th May - 19th July
Gather the Clouds
Gemma Petrie
Gemma Petrie’s exhibition ‘Gather the Clouds’ presents colourful and distinctive paintings, drawing from a range of sources she has collected from her surroundings and memories. There is a mysterious quality to the fluid shapes that emerge from Petrie’s work – the glimpse of a human form or a sea creature breaking the waves draws the viewer in. Petrie is interested in time and archaeology, and the way we move through our environment, navigating between memory and the present.
29th May - 19th July
Nestled
Jayne Stokes
Jayne Stokes creates miniature landscape constructions from found objects and materials. Stokes’ exhibition ‘Nestled’ will bring together the strands of the journeys that she made during her residency at An Talla Solais in 2025; “The objects I incorporate in my pieces have a history, they have been passed on from somebody or discovered in the landscape when I am on a journey. We discard so much in today’s society, and I like the idea that I can use an everyday object and transform it into something magical.”

Seven Takes on Time
Black Isle Collective
Black Isle Collective’s exhibition explores the experience of time - fluid, mysterious and ultimately unknowable … every arc of life, from wren and oak to mountain and human, woven into the great circles and cycles of the universe and yet uniquely itself, pulsing moment to moment.
Across a broad range of disciplines - painting, ceramics, fibre, photography, poetry and film - each artist’s story is distilled through the physicality and process of making - a move away from the frenetic, digitalised timelines that dominate our lives into a way of being and seeing more in step with the rhythms that everywhere surround and include us… an exploration that in the end yields more questions than answers, but attempts to access the ineffable through the key of detail … to make this immensity human-sized. (Annie Dillard)
