300 Years of Meadows
From Loch to Park
A green space in the centre of the Scottish Capital is celebrating its 300 year anniversary
During a visit of the illustration degree show at the Edinburgh College of Art I chanced upon a little book about the Meadows by Marc Gosteli. I learnt that the loch that covered that whole area was drained in 1722. It took longer than that of course but 1722 was a significant year when Sir Thomas Hope turned the marshy land into ‘The Meadows or Hope Park’.
I realised that this is exactly 300 years ago and decided to celebrate this special anniversary with an exhibition. The photographs aim to show the beauty of this park and with some added history I hope that everyone can learn more about this lovely big green space right in the middle of Edinburgh.
What makes the Meadows so important? It is the fact that all are welcome to use it. Young and old, rich and poor, it doesn’t matter when it comes to enjoying a day in the park. I have loved the Meadows ever since I came to Edinburgh in the 90s. Sports, parties, music, walks and chats. Sunshine, fog, wind and rain. The seasons with their long and short days. Walks home in the early hours after a big night out.
I hope everybody will join me in the celebration of this beautiful nature spot which is completely free and equal in its use for all.
Pandemic Exhibition
A video of an empty Edinburgh was created with added emotive music 'Dreamtree in Darkness'
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The 'Pandemic' exhibition was launched online on 14/4/2020. It is an attempt to capture a snapshot of an empty town and the surreal atmosphere here in Edinburgh.
This photographic series is dedicated to everyone who was affected by the virus. In particular those who lost their lives, suffered from the virus or worked hard to save lives during the pandemic. My deepest admiration also goes to those cleaning hospital wards with a great risk of infection. I am deeply indebted to you all and very grateful.
I would like to thank Sophie O'Riordan-Holzmann for her modelling and support, and Tollcross Pharmacy for their donation.
