This splendid cormorant is attracting visitors (and possibly bears with buns) to a rear window in Axolotl Gallery's rear window on Dundas Street.
The sculpture, by mdmd, is part of an exhibition featuring the work of mainly Caithness artists, crafters and manufacturers called Katnes Folio which runs until 30 November. This reviewer particularly admired the uncanny painting 'Tree Dance, Melvich' by Eliot Rudie, and the inky depths of Meg Telfer's studies of a wintry Badenloch.
I don't know much about ceramics, but loved Jenny McKenzie Ross's textured contrasts in evocative shades of blue and red.
Starting tonight, Axolotl will host another new exhibition, Jock Tamson's Bairns. It promises to 'shine a wee light on the lives of a diverse group of people who have been born Scottish or become Scottish and brought up with a mix of traditions from different countries, different references, but who feel strongly that Scotland is their home too'.
The exhibition, timed to coincide with the inaugural Previously: Scotland's History Festival, will continue until 29 November. AM
