- Description: In 2015 an exhibition of new sculptural work by Fanny Lam Christie went on show in Pathfoot after her year-long artist residency at the Institute of Aquaculture. The exhibition was entitled 'Aquacultural Encounters' and explored the health care of farmed fish and features sculpture installations which combine different materials including glass, clay, bogwood and bronze.The project drew on scientific research on fish pathogens and a cleaner fish strategy with its roots in polyculture developed in ancient China.
Line-Culture presents a group of ceramic Kelp seaweeds (Saccharina latissima) to suggest the system of cultivating seaweed on a rope ‘ a sustainable aquaculture concept. Seaweed has long been grown in Eastern countries such as China and Japan for food and fertilizer, and for its bioremediation benefits for its uptake of nitrogen.
As well as its research activity in Scotland, the Institute of Aquaculture carries out project work in Asia and Africa. These international projects have wide social, economic and environmental impact and benefits. Line-Culture features some of images from the case studies and personal stories of success from these projects. - Digital Copy:A digital copy exists.
