This Is An Island
Claire Duquesne has spent much of her life travelling and living in different places. She visited Scotland some 13 years ago and fell in love with the traditional music, welcoming community and familiar green spaces. She spent years saving up and eventually emigrated to Aberdeenshire, then Skye. She is now based in Glasgow.
In Scotland it is estimated that the furthest point from the sea is a mere 40 miles. It is tempting to think of island life as being on tropical hot white beaches or remote isles, but so often we forget that Britain and Ireland are islands. Spanning over 10 years, This Is An Island is a culmination of photographic work that reflects on what it means to live on an island shaped by weather, land and sea.
