Nets at Catterline with pulley at top left. Photograph by Audrey Walker. Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art Archive, Edinburgh There were several other versions of this subject in the 1965 exhibition at Roland Browse and Delbanco, no. 3 illustrated in the catalogue as Fishing Nets Drying no. II. It was clearly a subject which appealed greatly, and this informs us about her concerns as an artist. She is not just the expressionist soul, wringing drama and emotion from her experience of the world, but a sensitive picture maker who likes to get close to a subject, to go in deep to try to reveal some beauty and order in the chaos apparent in the nature or the happenstance of the disposition of human detritus along the shore paths of Catterline. To choose such an unprepossessing subject and make great art from it speaks of the artist’s modernism as well as her genius. 28
