Instructions for Another Future was conceived especially for MOORE CONTEMPORARY from the artist KATE McMILLAN'S ongoing explorations of sites of history and constructions of meaning and mythology. In a recent interview with Susie Pentelow published in the online journal After Nyne, McMillan explained:
"I'm interested in histories that have been overlooked. And I think every country has those histories... I think history marks our bodies in particular ways. And of course, when we think that about our own histories it's always located in a place and it's almost impossible to talk about ourselves, and our identity, without talking about place."

A performative presentation of a script written by the artist and voiced by a local actor serves to illuminate McMillan's visual integration of the hag stone imagery into her beautifully assembled and sewn wall works. Draped and layered swathes of velvet and silk chiffon bearing digital prints and combined with found and hand-crafted elements dot the walls. A number of these works have found their way into local collections, extending the reverberations of stories into new locations.
