The New Pram

Based on my first memory at Corrie, Isle of Arran. 

The landscape has an ephemeral quality which contrasts strongly with the solid dark shape of the pram. The half open (or closed) hood and the taut cover suggests that a child is within. If the pram appears to be abandoned in the watery landscape it nevertheless seems quite at home. In the distance, above left, there is the dark outline of a submarine, a reminder of the hidden depths beneath. A submarine may be a sinister motif however it is sailing out of the picture at the same time as the equidistant seagulls are flying in and towards us.
