Malcolm Mackenzie

Malcolm Mackenzie is an artist and crofter from Plockton in the North West Highlands of Scotland. His varied practice which includes film, sculpture and writing explores and seeks out ways for individuals to come together, to make through shared input with a focus on learning from one another. By encouraging collective contribution to the process of making, Malcolm’s practice explores individual engagement and the creation of community and togetherness which allows space for individual autonomy. He is currently working with Atlas Arts building two Coastal Rowing skiffs with residents of Lochalsh and Skye.
