Counting Leaves: pop up photography exhibition at granton:hub

THIS weekend, opening Friday evening 21 October, we welcome a group show featuring photographers Kat Gollock, Zoe Hamill and Erin Semple who use their work to explore the landscape around us and the spaces we inhabit both individually and collectively.

Whilst varied in approach, these three artists are unified in making work that helps to better understand how we as humans engage with the landscapes we find ourselves in.

Their work explores how landscape moulds and shapes who we are and tries to make sense of the emotional narratives that the sense of place nurtures within us all.

Granton’s very own hand carved 9-meter-long Iron Age logboat, Dobhran, will sail again today!
