Their work is an ongoing exploration into the visualisation of Scottish mythology and folklore and investigates what they believe to be a loss of narrative and representation for Scotland’s ancestral beliefs and stories. Interested in how Scottish society may have developed differently had monotheist belief not taken over, and rather local belief encouraged rather than persecuted, their work aims to question our connection to the landscape, the portrayal and position of women throughout Scottish society and our respect for the land and its history. Through a multitude of mediums and approaches they attempt to consider the vast visual archive that never became and to begin to scratch the surface of what could be, if Scottish mythology and folklore became part of the norm again and a respected facet of belief within Scotland. ‘Stories matter, you see. They’re not just entertainment – stories matter because humans are narrative creatures. It’s not simply that we like to tell stories, and to listen to them: it’s that narrative is hard-wired into us. It’s a function of our biology, and the way our brains evolved over time. We make sense of the world and fashion our identities through the sharing and passing on of our stories. And so the stories that we tell ourselves about the world and our place in it, shape not just our own lives, but the world around us. The cultural narrative is the culture.’.

“So that’s why I keep the bird’s remains, here in this room, my own hybernaculum – if only for a while. It’s just a tuft of feathers in a polythene bag, a tiny skull, and with that silvery ring above its shrunken, black webbed foot. I keep it for the intimacy and for the petrel smell: fusty, musky, suggestive of a distant island in summer. And I keep it out of sheer respect because, in its life, this ounce of a bird had made twenty four return trips the length of the Atlantic. Twenty four at least – which is not bad at all, for a waif, wambling.” — Kathleen Jamie, Sightlines, page 217
