The subject of my (Final Year) Graded Unit is ‘A Sense of Place’. I chose Orkney as my particular ‘place’. It wasn’t such a hard choice ;)) The title of this blog comes directly from my graded unit sketchbook – it stems from a kind of islandy stream of consciousness relating to my time spent visiting (and sometimes even living) there, over the years.

The images below were all taken by myself and show just a few of my favourite orcadian places. These images form part of the research material used in the development of my final graded unit piece.
