Ian Hamilton Finlay, Weather Is A Third To Place And Time, 2014 Boats and the sea were strong themes in the artist’s work. Weather is especially important to people at sea, making a very real third co-ordinate to the inescapable circumstances of place and time. But the weather also has a symbolic or emotional significance, helping people express their feelings. It’s as if a world without weather would be without colour and two-dimensional. The artist died in 2006, so this work was realised posthumously courtesy of his Estate.
