Travelling the Distance, is a permanent public artwork, which was commissioned by The Scottish Executive for the Scottish Parliament to coincide with the centenary year of the Scottish Women's Suffragette Federation and exists as 100 porcelain hand written sentences in Scots, English and Gaelic. The project involved a yearlong journey throughout Scotland and the islands, meeting with 100 women each one referring me onto the next in the chain of connections. I invited each woman to write a sentence, in their handwriting, in recognition of another woman they thought had made, or continues to make, an important contribution to Scotland. The contributors came from varied backgrounds, geographies and generations. Eighty-two of the 100 women involved, travelled from all over Scotland for the opening of the artwork. A book documenting the project was published and gifted to each of the contributors.
