Mangurstadh: Magnus's Steading
Documentation of one of three video installations by Elsie Mitchell, in an exhibition at An Lanntair Arts Centre, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis.
The Sea at Traigh Mhangurstaigh
Digital videos of waves breaking onto Mangersta Beach were projected onto a cattle feed bucket filled with water and pebbles from lochs in Mangersta. The video image bounces off the water onto the wall of the gallery. Exhibition viewers could move the water, or drop pebbles into the feed bucket to move and ripple the images on the wall. The installation had a calming meditative quality reminiscent of the relaxing and healing feelings you can get from contemplating ocean waves.
