Abstract:
"Evolving out of the initial scroll made in 2010, this long hand scroll continues Douglas' exploration of the pond at Deuchar in deeper and richer colour and at greater length. In the course of the scroll's unfurling March toads give way to arabesques of spawn, leading to edgings of May Kingcups, other plants, and numerous pond insects in mid summer. As the scroll [unfurls], points of vision and moods shift: the eye moves over the water and into its depth, across its rippling or still surface and to within the deep reflection that it renders, to conjure a world of immersion. This scroll was made with the aid of a small Visual Artist Award received from Scottish Borders Council & Creative Scotland."--Artist's statement.
