End of year show for the Master of
Letters in Fine Art Practice featuring work by 23 graduates from four disciplines:
Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, and Fine Art Photography. Students on the
MLitt programme are drawn from a wide international field and, as a group, they
benefit not only from an extraordinary range of cultural perspectives, but also
from the various professional, academic and artistic insights that many of them
bring from their previous experience.
The works in the exhibition have emerged from this rich, intense and
fertile breeding ground.

A Derry~Londonderry
City of Culture 2013 project, Colm Cille’s Spiral is a
re-imagination of the legacy of sixth-century Irish monk Colm Cille, (St
Columba) which is presented through a series of contemporary art and literature
commissions and dialogues. Following a notional spiral, six contemporary
artistic interpretations, resulting from a collaboration of artists, writers
and academics, are linking revered and significant sites along once-vital
perimeters and sea routes. Scotland’s ‘knot’ on this notional spiral
brings together Glasgow and the Inner Hebrides, and takes the form of a
creative dialogue, a ‘journey of ideas’. It links creative and research
practices by gathering together a group of artists and scholars in an intensive
residency on the Isle of Raasay, off Skye. The creative outcomes of the
residency, which took place in earlier this month, include a suite of photograph, of the birthplaces of
Saints by Thomas Joshua Cooper.
