Catherine Sargeant's "Sea Circle - Hurlygush" mesmerises with its circular composition of deep maritime blues and teals, evoking the tumultuous energy of coastal waters. This mixed media work combines oil, gloss and pigments on aluminium to create a luminous, almost three-dimensional quality that shifts as light plays across its surface. The word "hurlygush" emerges from the swirling depths, partially submerged in the textured layers, suggesting the Scottish term for turbulent, rushing water. Sargeant masterfully balances abstraction with suggestion, allowing viewers to experience the sensory qualities of crashing waves and sea spray through her dynamic application of materials.

Maritime Connections
The circular format of this 30 cm diameter piece creates a porthole-like window into Scotland's coastal character, inviting viewers to peer into the churning waters that define the nation's boundaries. When displayed on a wall, the aluminium substrate catches and reflects light much like water itself, changing subtly throughout the day and creating a living presence in any space. "Sea Circle - Hurlygush" exemplifies how contemporary Scottish art can distil powerful natural forces into intimate encounters, offering a daily reminder of the elemental power that shapes both landscape and language in Scottish culture.
