Created by renowned artist James Turrell at the dawn of the 21st. century, the Craiganour Skyspace invites an embodied transformative experience.
Set within the Highland landscape, it opens an aperture to the heavens, transforming the colour of the sky and asking us questions such as how much of what we perceive is ‘out there’, and how much do we influence what we perceive of the world from within.
“I like to use light as a
material, but my medium
is actually perception.”
James Turrell
‘After taking on the running of the Craiganour Estate in the early 90s, and having made my first attempts at managing it from an ecological perspective, I wanted to build something concrete to symbolise this shift in approach away from the ‘conventional’ sporting management that I had grown up experiencing, and towards the health of the land as the first priority- a place I could go to to reflect on that. As time has passed and my understanding of sustainable development has evolved, the Skyspace has settled into the landscape and provides just such an opportunity for me over and over again. It’s also just incredibly beautiful and deeply moves everyone who goes in there.’
