International Artists Workshop - Artist Ewan Hunter (Scotland)

Artist's Statement

"At first in Glasgow I threw most of my energies into the production of outdoor events, parades and pyrotechnic spectacles.  I then began continuing associations with UZ Events, Walk the Plank, Mischief la Bas and was a core member of the Glasgow-based events company Acme Presentations.

In 1998 I co-found Scott Associates, a workshop and factory for the visual and performing arts.  Also in 1998, I was invited to join the cast of Shockheaded Peter as an actor and animator, and toured internationally for seven years.

Recently I have returned from a two month pilot residency in Sri Lanka studying traditional Sri Lankan puppetry.

I would like to use the Tanera residency to continue to identify my practice and, frankly, to increase my visibility as a working artist, but most of all to re-acquaint myself (and share) in some epic natural theatre. "

Ewan Hunter - Boston Stirling
 
"When the chips are down", acording to unreliable second-hand accounts, the trawler "Boston Stirling", managed to hit the back end of Tanera while the crew were all below deck fighting a chip-pan fire. Reportedly they failed to give a position when they transmitted their mayday because they were "a bit embarassed".

Hey Ewan Hunter!

Chanced upon the 'Northings' site as a consequence of a conversation with Lindsay. Nice to see pictures of you enjoying the Tanera residency. Looks like you've been up to some very interesting things...and in some far off places. just where did you get all those Stella cans!?

Sending you best wishes,

Judy

Hey Ewan!

Lindsay sent me the link and I saw your name on the list of artists. How are you? Love the pic, "Seal Husband". The backdrop of chairs looking out over that amazing view, and that strange man seal...
