image Gunnie Moberg circa 1979 Sheep Bucht
Listeners to BBC Radio Orkney this morning heard Amy Liptrot talk to Robbie Fraser about how a Gunnie Moberg photograph piqued her curiosity. One of the photographs in Stone Built of a sheep bucht in Firth, Orkney, sparked something in writer and stone dyker Amy. Amy wrote up her experience in the recent Island issue of the literary magazine Antidote to indifference. Letting an image move you and impel you to action, that is an antidote to indifference, just like making the image was in the first place.
