Mount Stuart presents the largest solo exhibition in Scotland by Veronica Ryan OBE, RA to date. The new work will include reflections on the materiality of Mount Stuart house, its contents and living collection and will also see Ryan interrogating lineage through the consideration of family histories. Her sculptural practice embraces the hand-made and domestic as conduits for memory as well as interrogating collecting practices and colonialism within natural, found objects. The work will also look at the context of the Isle of Bute, with its limits created by the sea.
