Inverness
Prison
Autumn
2007
In
the Autumn of 2007 I worked with eight residents of Inverness
Prison on a series of creative projects. Focusing upon
abstract expression and photo montage, the group produced
25 pieces that were exhibited at Old High Church Hall,
Inverness in November 2007.
Using simple methods that included paper-cutting, collage
and line-drawing, I invited participants to reflect upon
the most important aspects of their own lives and try
to express these visually.
The diverse images developed out of an intensive period
of six sessions that encourage expression of deeper aspects
of life through more abstract forms of expression.The
playful and vibrant artwork reflects their willingness
and enthusiasm to engage in a challenging and ultimately
enjoyable process.
