A publication to accompany Ross Ryan’s exhibition Crinan to Catterline.
The Gallery continues to follow Ross Ryan’s artistic practice, which combines his intimate knowledge and understanding of the west coast of Scotland, his life as a professional skipper and his dedication as an artist. Last year Ross sailed the longest passage he has made on the Sgarbh to date. His intention was to record his journey between his home in Crinan to Catterline. He lays bare the weather conditions, his encounters with people, the places, the difficulties, the triumphs – of sometimes feeling alone, of feeling small, whilst feeling an intense wonder at the landscape from sea or land.
