Dedicated to the area around our home in Knockvologan on the southwest tip of Mull, Quavering Tongues explores this natural environment as a culture-generating mesh of entanglements.
Through use of multiple disciplines and sensory techniques, we carefully tune into the delicate intricacies of land, sea and their inhabitants both past and present. In doing so, we try to reveal hidden motives that inspire speculative scenarios for a future where we acknowledge the complex and symbiotic relationships that exist between the natural world and us.
