You could try looking on instagram using the hashtag #forthlineproject or, try this https://edinburghshoreline.org.uk/forthline-project-watch-our-art-work-take-shape/ If you go to the bottom of the page and click on one of the images it should open a slideshow which you can scroll through. You can also see a very clever 'fly-over' video here, which shows all the works superimposed on a map of the area https://youtu.be/aNXm9owJf9Q I hope this helps :-).

She has just had the flu and is trying to feed a husband and five children. She describes queuing for hours to try and get staples, and the dockworkers' wives struggling to keep things going. She says it is enough to make her a communist!

I love both the result (when I first glance at the contents of the treasure box, they looked so real to me I had to look again to see that they were all made of fabric) and your thoughts on the process, thank you so much for sharing them.
