TRANSIT – 24 Hour Tor Mor is a new body of work that has been installed in the passages and stairwells of An Roth to create a line of paintings that will lead the viewer through the building. The installation aims to activate these ‘transit areas’ by opening them up as imaginative ‘thinking spaces’ for the users of An Roth.

24 Hour Tor Mor is a series of paintings made on Mull that construct a sense of place through highly decorative and schematized images. The colourful and sumptuously painted surfaces generate a world of ‘altered states’, depicting domestic ornaments, bought from Island Castaways *MESS shops and representations of Mull & Iona landscape.
