In Print, an exhibition of Gunnie Moberg photographs, has opened at the Orkney Museum.

Eight new prints have been made from Gunnie Moberg’s Shetland books and some of these have never been exhibited before. Over a dozen images from Gunnie Moberg’s first solo book Stone Built are also on show. This 1979 publication, produced by her husband Tam’s Stromness Books & Prints contains some of the most poetic and remarkable images of the Orkney landscape.

A full set of the photographic plates from the limited edition, hand-printed book Stone, from 1987, form the centre of the show.

Tom Muir, exhibitions officer at Orkney Museum, said: “To complement the exhibition there will be ongoing screenings of the film Gunnie, made for the Pier Arts Centre by Mark Jenkins. As well as her books and biographical material there will be newspaper clippings to browse in the Orkney Museum library room adjacent to the gallery.”

In Print runs until January 31.
