Drawn To The Mountains

Why are we drawn to the mountains? What compels us to create and share art inspired by our adventures and experiences in nature?

In vast darkness, the upper body of a woman can be seen. She is wearing a head torch, the light of which illuminates the frost of her breath. She is wearing a red soft-shell, with a rucksack over her shoulders, strap tightened across her chest. She stares into the darkness, to the side of the camera, in contemplation and curiosity.

Why are we drawn to the mountains? What compels us to create and share art inspired by our adventures and experiences in nature? Tessa (she/her) is an artist and designer who lives in Glasgow; she regularly heads out to the Scottish highlands to explore and connect with the mountains. Set in the snowy Cairngorm mountain range in winter, Tessa takes us on a journey, exploring her thoughts on these questions and bringing us into her creative practice.
