Place Discovery and Building with Light were linked workshops delivered in Stornoway Primary School with the Gaelic-medium 6/7 and Primary 7 classes. They focused on place, ideas of heritage and the built environment through walking, discussion, field-recording, view-finding and design activity.
Following the workshops, a rapid process of translating, designing and fabricating took place in order to quickly create the resulting artwork; a kaleidoscopic standing stone and viewing device fabricated from powder coated and etched sheet steel.
Initially exhibited in An Lanntair, the artwork is now sited in the grounds of Lews Castle and features many of the young people’s original writing and drawings.
