The central television (top row) is a time-lapse of 2 years of crofting activity on the 5 Mangersta fields as crops - haylidge, turnips and potatoes - are grown and harvested and the fields are used at various points in the year for lambing, calving and for grazing by Aberdeen Angus Cattle, Hebridean and Blackface sheep and Saddleback pigs.

Mangersta Common Grazings has been managed by crofters for many years to support biodiversity with grazing regimes designed to maintain habitats for birds, insects, flowers and wildlife as prescribed by agri environmental schemes.

Pencil drawing, water-colour and handmade plant fibre paper collage. The paper was made from common plants growing on the crofts and common grazings - Marram Grass, Potatoes, purple Moor Grass. Based on an OS Map surveyed in the 1840's and a historic map from the late 1800's detailing the common grazings village boundaries in Uig. The area defined in plant fibre paper marks the boundary of Mangurstadh Common Grazings. The colours and textures of the plant fibre are used to define contemporary habitat definitions eg. coastal/ serpentine heath, machair, moorland. The place names are as given on the 1840's OS map.

[/size] [size=15][color=black][b]Mapping Mangurstadh[/b][/color][/size] [size=13](video still of a Redpoll on croft 5 Mangersta) Digital video and photographs displayed as silent 5 minute loops, on 10 televisions recording the crofting activity, flora, fauna and landscapes within the village of Mangurstadh and surrounding common grazings filmed between 2010 – 12 in all seasons. The central television (top row) is a time-lapse of 2 years of crofting activity on the 5 Mangersta fields as crops - haylidge, turnips and potatoes - are grown and harvested and the fields are used at various points in the year for lambing, calving and for grazing by Aberdeen Angus Cattle, Hebridean and Blackface sheep and Saddleback pigs. The screens to either side on the top row take the viewer along the coastal heath, beaches and clifftops on the coastal edge of Mangersta Common Grazings, the screens on the bottom row depict the village fields and the inner moorland, peatland, lochs and hills which form the interior of Mangersta Common Grazings. Mangersta Common Grazings has been managed by crofters for many years to support biodiversity with grazing regimes designed to maintain habitats for birds, insects, flowers and wildlife as prescribed by agri environmental schemes. Included within the film and photographic imagery are signs of ancient archaeology, prehistoric farms and field systems, and human settlements and agricultural activity from post-medieval times to 2012.

Pencil drawing, water-colour and handmade plant fibre paper collage. The paper was made from common plants growing on the crofts and common grazings - Marram Grass, Potatoes, purple Moor Grass. Based on an OS Map surveyed in the 1840's and a historic map from the late 1800's detailing the common grazings village boundaries in Uig. The area defined in plant fibre paper marks the boundary of Mangurstadh Common Grazings. The colours and textures of the plant fibre are used to define contemporary habitat definitions eg. coastal/ serpentine heath, machair, moorland. The place names are as given on the 1840's OS map. Many are derived from old norse and reveal that the land has been farmed and grazed from prehistoric times.

Made in 1988, by Elsie Mitchell. This handmade paper book consists of a sequence of maps - dating from 1654 to the 1980's - of an area in Coatbridge, Scotland. These are followed by a sequence of papers handmade from plants growing in the same location as the maps. Each paper is stained with the name of the plant that it was made from. Together they are intended to form a concrete poem. The book is titled with the place name changes made over time - Dun Pelder, Drumpendare, Dunpelder, Drumpendare, Drumpellar, Drumpellier. The maps focus on a green belt area between Coatbridge and Glasgow. Most of this area forms the smallest country park in Scotland. I chose a fragile medium on which to print the maps as the green belt area itself is fragile and vulnerable to changes in urban planning policy. The maps tell the history of the place; illustrate the land use changes which have shaped the town and give an indication through prominent symbols of who had power during the various centuries - church>tobacco lord>factory owner>government. The papers form a mental map of the area. From the varying names and list of locations the viewer can build a present day picture of the land. This book was part of my degree show at Glasgow School of Art. It explores the area where I grew up. Looking back now much of this part of Coatbridge has been developed into housing. Thankfully, Drumpellier Country Park remains a much needed green space within a very urban area. I went onto to exhibit Dun Pelder at 'Aram Designs Graduate Show 1988', London; 'Books and Editions with Artists' Graeme Murray Gallery, Edinburgh in 1988; and at Drumpellier Country Park Visitor Centre where it was on permanent display for a number of years. It can now be viewed on request here at Mangurstadh Gallery.
