Uisge-Aqua is a creative project about watery dreamscapes-landscapes in the Scottish Highlands.
The subtitle - If You Stare at Me in the Light I will Melt into a Puddle - refers to the legend of Ashrays, translucent nocturnal water creatures that were believed to melt if exposed to sunlight.
Combining research into local folktales and old legends about mythical creatures living in seas, lochs and rivers with photography, digital collage and site-specific installation, Uisge-Aqua aims at being a creative and visual exploration of the Scottish waterscapes and their mythical heritage.
