They appear as guardians and guides, moving between worlds rather than belonging fully to one.&nbsp;There\u2019s&nbsp;something quietly powerful in that idea,&nbsp;crossings rather than endings, movement rather than arrival.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That feels close to where Space Loch is right now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This studio is still very new.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;being shaped more by curiosity than&nbsp;certainty&nbsp;and&nbsp;by questions rather than answers.&nbsp;I\u2019m&nbsp;exploring imagery that sits somewhere between the engineered and the imagined, informed by Scotland\u2019s landscapes and its growing relationship with space, science, and future-facing technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning under the Wolf Moon felt like a good place to start.
