Katie Paterson @ Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh

Katie Paterson combines a research-based approach with an essentially Romantic and poetic sensibility which invites the viewer into an intimate and philosophical engagement with the natural environment, often collapsing the distance between present day experience and the most distant edges of time and the cosmos.

Her work prompts feelings of humility, wonder and sometimes melancholy, recalling something of the 19^th century’s pursuit of the sublime, but realised in a resolutely contemporary manner that is at once understated in gesture, and yet monumental in scope.
