The sculpture takes the form of two standing ‘stones’ created with bronze-infused resin which glow in the sunlight, set on a base of resin-bonded gravel. To create the piece, Annie Cattrell used the inspiration of the geological forms of the Great Glen Fault which separates the two distinct land regions of North West Highlands and the Grampian Mountains, with the River Ness flowing between. Annie took moulds of the different rock structures on each side of the river, which she then cast in the resin at her studio to create the piece. Whilst developing the concept, Annie became interested in the powerful nature of folk traditions and the cultural need for predictions, forecasting and belief systems to attempt to determine the future. ‘Seer’ takes its title from Coinneach Odhar, the Brahan Seer, who made a number of predictions about the River Ness.
