Description

The book is published by Mount Stuart Trust in conjunction with the visual arts programme at Mount Stuart, Isle of Bute 2001. Shadow of a Necklace continues Kate Whiteford's investigation into the resonance left on the landscape by succeeding generations and cultures, and forms one of a series of important land works completed over the last twenty years. Whiteford refers to the prehistory of the island and in particular to the discovery at the end of the last century of a jet necklace found within a Bronze Age burial site in the grounds at Mount Stuart. The necklace became the inspiration that defined the project and interpreted the strands binding past to present. Available in an edition of 1000 copies with text by Yves Abrioux.
