Images of Iona by
Barbara Sellars
4 October – 7 November
Barbara has been a regular visitor to the Isle
of Iona for thirty-five years. In the spring of
2011 she began a project of photographing
the island’s landscape every month for 12
consecutive months. It was just the beginning
and she has returned many times since to
continue making images.
Figures and Faces
15 November – 9 December
This exhibition looks at the many styles of
portraits and figures in the Lillie’s permanent
collection. A portrait can be an artist’s
representation rather than a photographic
image; it can be the whole figure or just the
face. It can capture the sitter’s personality or
their mood. A portrait can also illustrate more
than one person.
This collection reflects her perspective of Iona
and the developing relationship with the island
that she has made through her photography.
It includes intimate landscape imagery of
patterns in the sand, fleeting moments of light
on wave and the sculptural form and colour of
Iona’s ancient rocks as well as the bigger view
of an island in its differing moods from dawn
to dusk.
