Joanne B Kaar, 'paper wrappers and Herbarium sheets'. Photo: Joanne B Kaar. Paper Wrappers & Herbarium Sheets is an exhibition by Joanne B. Kaar at Caithness Horizons from 13th September until 11th December 2011
Local artist Joanne B. Kaar has been working with the curator of Caithness Horizons over the last few years to help document, photograph and digitise the botanical specimens and paper wrappers contained within the Robert Dick Herbarium. Together they selected 60 of the herbarium specimens, which Joanne has printed onto her own handmade papers. All 60 are on display at Caithness Horizons.
Joanne, inspired by the work and personal life of Robert Dick the Thurso baker and botanist, has created new work for this exhibition to interpret the story of Robert Dick?s life from an artist?s perspective. She has designed a series of adverts that relate to three important events in Robert Dick?s life

The richness of patina continues to develop on the surface of the work as a result of the touch and breath of the audience, thereby retaining some of the temporality of its initiating force the transient breath.

Turning Point was a visual arts strategy launched by ACE in 2006. A complicated programme, a-n commissioned this briefing paper to provide clarity for visual arts practitioners and organisers.
Over the past five years, the words Turning Point have been read, heard, written and spoken with increasing frequency by people in the visual arts in England, but for many individual arts practitioners, in particular, the origins and activities of Turning Point remain a bit opaque. This briefing paper is for them and for anyone interested in understanding more about what Turning Point is and does.
