Mavis Grind, Shetland

The rather fabulously named Mavis Grind is a narrow joining piece of land that links the mainland of north-west Shetland to the Northmavine peninsula. I didn't know that this was where I was until afterwards, I'd just found a place that I found interesting sculpturally. The road is cut out of the rock and I rather liked the look of it's lumps and bumps. The way the light touched the land meant that it looked delightfully floaty.

Useful Information:

The Drawings From Shetland Collection:

Mavis Grind, Shetland is part of my Charcoal Landscapes Collection. It was created when I spent a wintry month on Shetland for an artist residency based in Scalloway. I took the rough-textured handmade paper with me on a last-minute whim and found that it seemed to embody the wintry hues of the hunks of charcoal I was working into the weave. The beauty and rawness of the landscape around Shetland captivated my senses and I fully intend to return there. 

Mavis Grind, Shetland would love to bring Shetland's mesmerising landscapes to your reality.
