The current exhibition in Bonhoga, ‘Island Connections’ is a series of works considering the relationship between people and land.

We snuck into the Bonhoga Gallery just before Vivian gave her talk on Saturday.

Vivian recently spent two months as Artist in Residence on the Finnish island of Korpo, where she developed this new body of work as a conversation between the Finnish archipelago and her home islands of Shetland, and in particular Fair Isle. This video gives a little insight into her inspiration and processes:
