“Creative Scotland’s investment in Artists Taking the Lead, for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad reflects our mission to invest in Scotland’s creative future. Forest Pitch is an intricate mix of landscape and sport, diverse communities and generations. Everyone involved will be able to return to the site time and time again, re-living one unique day and watching the power of nature slowly envelop the site. Craig’s work has layers of texture, blending together the natural environment and human experience with a snapshot of a moment in time.”
