Julie Dennison is currently a full time student, who is doing her First Year of BA (Hons) Contemporary Textiles at Shetland College UHI. The majority of these woodcut prints were created when she studied NC Art and Design, between August 2013 and July 2014.

She really took to creating woodcuts during the printmaking module and, under Paul Bloomer’s tuition and support, thrived on it and has continued to create illustrative prints featuring landscapes and recognisable Shetland scenes. A number of prints feature a recurring character, a grouchy Shetland fisherman named Tammie o’ Stova, who features in a story which Julie is yet to write.

Chris Rigby is a landscape painter whose work embraces the physical process of representing the nature of things. The work Lower Gallery, in this exhibition follows on from his 2012 exhibition ‘30 Bonhoga Days of Light’ at Shetland Work is for sale.

McCullin (15)

Mareel Cinema Tue 24 Feb

Granted unprecedented access to the archives of veteran Times war photographer Don McCullin, directors Jacqui and David Morris interweave candid interviews with the man himself, archive footage of the conflicts he covered and a huge range of his devastating photographs. The result is a vivid and moving portrait of one of the most important photojournalists of the 20th century. By turns emotionally demanding and strangely uplifting, this powerful documentary proves a fitting tribute to a truly remarkable man.

From London’s West End - Richard Armitage stars in Arthur Miller’s classic American drama, based on Salem’s infamous witch trials, brought vividly to life in this visceral new production by internationally acclaimed director Yaël Farber.

In a small tight-knit community in Salem, Massachusetts, personal grievances collide with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria. Miller’s timeless parable attacks the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.

Richard Armitage’s film and TV credits include The Hobbit trilogy, Into the Storm, Captain America: The First Avenger and Spooks. Theatre includes The Duchess of Malfi and Macbeth for RSC. Yaël Farber is a multiple award-winning director and playwright. Her production of Mies Julie won a string of international awards at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival, was named one of the Top Ten Productions of 2012 by The New York Times, and Top Five Productions of 2012 by The Guardian.
