Judith Parrot’s Grounded, the seventh exhibition in her Place Matters series, was originally commission by the 2014 Glasgow Festival, as part of the XX Commonwealth Games cultural program. The Grounded Exhibition presents the outcome of two residencies; one in the Gaelic speaking Outer Hebrides of Scotland and the other with the Australian Aboriginal nations of the Central Australian desert and the plains of Western Queensland.

Grounded features photography, sound, audiovisual, language and prose; with inspiration drawn from landscape and stories shared by the local people. Judith’s artistic interpretation addresses issues surrounding connection to land, language, and each other for environmental and personal wellbeing.
