Ron Haseldon, Tracy McKenna, Bruce McLean, John Newling and Jake Tilson) illustrate a diversity of approaches which escape categorisation within a homogeneous tradition. Despite problems caused by the Scottish weather, and the tact that the exhibition was originally commissioned tor a site in Essex, an interesting symbiosis between the varied topography of woodland and expanses of grass at Cramond and the lorm ot the work is achieved. For example, Tracy McKenna uses

Judith Allen's Looking For A Ritual borrows from the ideas at ritual, tradition and magic which surround the maypole to create a circle or pagan-like totems reminiscent ot scarecrows.
