The stone hut in the painting is a primitive structure found in their hundreds across the islands of St Kilda, a remote archipelago 50 miles off the coast of the Scottish Outer Hebrides in the wild of the North Atlantic. A 'cleit' was constructed by the islanders to store the guga meat of the gannets they caught, and who breed in huge colonies on the perilous cliffs. In this painting I sought to imagine the other-wordly nature of such extremity on a winter night.. and to pay a kind of homage to these noble birds incarcerated therein. The cleit emits an unearthly glow from within and the spirit of a gannet flies ahead. The work employs by necessity the stroke of the palette knife in the foreground for the granite boulders, contrasting with more subtle effects with the brush in the clouds of the darkening sky.
