Eona Murray Aitken

  • Work
  • Biography
My landscapes explore the geology, textures and light of northern Scotland, Norway and Iceland, with themes of glacial retreat, volcanic activity and geothermal power. A recent series is concerned with the vulnerability of trees in the landscape as their surroundings change due to weather or natural disasters.
