Gillian Ness is a mixed media artist working in Fort William. As long as she can remember Gillian has found inspiration, joy, solitude and comfort in the vast landscapes of Lochaber and beyond.
Gillian’s work frequently explores the connection between breath and the mountain. Often realised as process rather than outcome, Gillian’s hand stitched works invite the viewer to breathe in response to the mountain where each stitch is a breath taken. Alongside her process artworks, Gillian’s work also explores times spent in mountains, reflections and differing perspectives on the views found up high. Gillian’s work is often confined to the size of a postcard mimicking the collectible and sentimental value held within a received postcard.
