Austin\u2019s Ocean Colour Scale model. I travel to work over the Tay and was fascinated by the insights into the unseen landscape, depths and shoals under the water that these items provided.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with photographs and direct drawings of the modules, I undertook further research into maps, books, online resources and river landscapes. I developed a series of paintings which explore the estuary and the model in relation to the exhibition theme, shape and movement, distance and edge. Professor Rob Duck\u2019s recent lecture enlightened me to the extent of engineering and maintenance underpinning the seemingly natural landscape of the Tay Estuary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A lecturer in education at the University for 15 years, Lucy creates artwork in her own time, having studied Painting and Printmaking to Masters\u2019 level back in the mists of time.
