Their enthusiasm is infectious, and being able to capture those emotions through my photography, gives me a lot of joy.” Being a self confessed animal lover, Joanne loves nothing better than documenting the precious moments shared between owners & their horses, set in beautiful outdoor rural locations throughout Scotland.
The project as described by Joanne: ‘My activity wants to encourage the local community in Cowie to make a window display in their home; utilising a letterbox of art supplies or recycled material they all ready have within their homes. Some themes that could inspire local families to explore on the window displays could be:
the local landscape & history of the village and its surrounding areas; the Ochil hills, the Wallace monument or the castle, all are visible in Cowie from various vantage points
the local factories, fields and countryside aspects
the history of the village with its connection to coal mining and military; we have the monument in the village across from the community centre, making tribute to soldiers from the village. There is also a monument near the bowling club which marks a tribute to the pilot whose aircraft crashed during the war.’
