Patiece Art Projects

This banner is structured to represent the most northerly area of the mainland of Scotland. Artist, Alexandria Patience reached out to rural and remote locations to ensure as many women in the North as possible would feel a part of this celebration of women’s Suffrage by sharing in the making of a single banner. Each one of the fifteen letters, ‘North Coast Women’ was made by an individual, family or group to represent themselves and their communities spanning the North Coast, from Kinlochbervie on the west coast all the way to Wick on the east. They represent Caithness and Sutherland. The map on the banner displays the locations of the the makers’ homes.

“My vision was to ensure women from the North Coast participated in the Processions event and that our rural communities across the North were represented in this national art event & gathering. I am totally chuffed to bits with how it all worked out!”
Alexandria Patience, artist.
