This audio forms part of a series of audio interviews conducted in 2023 by Smartify as part of the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands project. Listen and discover the Spirit of the Highlands and Islands through the eyes of the stitchers of the Tapestry of the Highlands and Islands.
Join Lizzie of The Wyvis Stitchers as she shares her admiration for the creative visionary behind the Tapestry of the Highlands and Islands - Scottish visual artist Andrew Crummy MBE.
He's so inspired by this idea of bringing people together through art and creativity and working together...I think what he's doing currently is a piece of contemporary art that's all about accessibility and inclusion and that's what I very much believe in. So, it's very exciting to be a part of this big project.
