Eilidh’s current practice involves foraging resources from the landscape at her home, Kilcreggan. By taking a gap year between graduating and studying for a master's in art, science and visual thinking, she is using this time to develop her skills using wild clays as sculpture and glaze materials. With creating environmental art comes the responsibility of using eco-friendly processes therefore this draws her away from using commercial materials and closer to using organic matter. Eilidh’s process includes collecting seaweed and other debris from the shore to then wrap around sculptures and pit fire them, imprinting the landscape onto her works. Her current areas of interest are exploring the relationship between the post-mortem human body and the natural environment and also researching the effect of climate change on western parts of Scotland including ‘Scotlands Rainforests’.
