Something Between the Sea and the Strand – A Hebridean Journey
In 2019 Trudi Jaeger made a journey to the northern Outer Hebridean islands of Lewis and Harris for the first time. This journey was a part of a planned series of journeys to the wild and open spaces of north-western Scotland. These fragile landscapes are situated on the outer edges of Europe. They are places of myth permeated with history. Parts of these places are also disappearing because of climate change.
I 2019 reiste Trudi Jaeger til de nordlige Outer Hebridean-øyene Lewis og Harris for første gang. Denne turen var en del av en planlagt serie med reiser til nordvest-Skottlands utemmede, åpne landskap. Disse skjøre naturområdene er plassert i utkanten av Europa. De er mytiske steder gjennomstrømmet av historie. Noen av stedene står også i fare for å forsvinne på grunn av klimaforandringer.

Dark and White works: I am concerned with the lightness of touch and the subtlety of tone in these paintings, the barely discernible interaction of tones and tints. An attempt to make space tangible by touching just parts of it.
