Message from the Skies
Seascape with WEC, Written by Kathleen Jamie. In 2020, Message from the Skies, took on the maritime theme of Shorelines, marking Scotland's Year of Coasts and Waters.
This collaboration brought the words of five esteemed writers to life, working alongside Scotland's leading designers and musicians to transform landmarks across Edinburgh into vibrant storytelling canvases. Our partnership with writer Kathleen Jamie culminated in a captivating projection at Union Canal, inspired by her reflections on the natural world and her curiosity about new wave energy converters she witnessed being tested on Orkney.
