After the Storm: Royal Botanic Garden (RBGE) Edinburgh
The photographic imagery of Patricia + Angus Macdonald, in their ongoing, long-running projects The Unwild and Re:Wild, offers momentary views of ecological disturbance and resilience in action.
The aerial triptych they contributed to the RBGE exhibition After the Storm (2016-17, on the theme of regeneration, recovery and resilience) – which views the same section of a dynamically braided river in the Cairngorms over a time-scale of almost 3 decades – presents evidence of the endless flux of the natural world in rapid mode, as seen below:
