I’m trying out some software to enable me to create an online catalogue for the exhibition at The Bedales Gallery in 2010.

I’m always being asked at exhibitions for more information and explanations about the themes and ideas behind the work, so I would be interested to find out from my readers what they would think of a catalogue in this format.

Praising The Guga - drawings inspired by the poems of Donald S. Murray

September 4th, 2009 Doug

Recently, I have been working on a series of drawings, inspired by the collection of poems

‘Praising The Guga’ by Donald S. Murray.

‘Gannets Seen In Mourning’ - Charcoal on paper - 2009

 

To celebrate Donald’s book ‘The Guga Hunters’. two of the drawings have been presented to Comunn Eachdraidh Nis (Ness Historical Society). I am honoured that these drawings are to have a place in the community of Ness and North Lewis, and that I have been given the opportunity to work with such an inspiring collection of poems.

‘Praising The Guga’ is available from North Idea
