The artists: 'Moor is the first work in a trilogy of film works which observe different locations surrounding our home in the Outer Hebrides.
The vast moor which the island of Lewis is synonymous with, is often described as wild, empty and bleak, but within it exists a vibrant and complex eco-system that is home to a myriad of life forms and species. The moor captured in this film is on the coastal side of Mealaisbhal, a prominent mountain in the area. It has been shaped by unseen acts - tumultuous geological forces enacted over a long, long periods of time; as well as human ideology and activities, expressed through the sound scape. In the film an observer, witnessing animals, birds and plants, is in turn observed, noticed as a presence within the scene. The moor is in a constant state of flux, it resonates its own agency, and provides a metronome to live alongside.'
