Mhairi Law

I'm delighted to include Mhairi's 'The Darkest Dawn' in the collection, when I first saw it in 2019 it was presented at An Lanntair as part of the Iolaire centenary exhibition, I was emotionally moved by it's intensity and poignancy. The impact immediately required further attention which led me to investigate more about the Iolaire and the rocks known as Biastan Thuilm (The Beasts of Holm). This is what art is meant to do.

The Darkest Dawn is presented here as part of the Hulabhaig Collection by kind permission of the artist.
