Praising The Guga - drawings inspired by the poems of Donald S. Murray
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
Donald S. Murray’s ‘The Guga Hunters’ is available from Birlinn.
Thank you to Rod Huckbody/Stornoway Gazette for providing the photograph.
