Shetland Mirry Dancers’ Night
I witnessed Northern Lights in Finnish Lapland a few years ago and I wanted to transfer my memories of the Mirry Dancers into Shetland landscape. So to put it in context I designed crofts from two different points of view and then a sky full of aurora borealis colours dancing around.
