About this artwork
Patricia Macdonald uses aerial photography to make beautiful and striking images that are poetic and approach natural truth. Loch Leven is here seen from above as it begins to thaw. The photograph is at once a record of a physical process as the ice warms and expands before melting and a picture of astounding beauty.
