A drunk man looks at the Scottish Enlightenment’
There was a band from Ayr that used to go and see called ‘Dead Friends’. I think they took their name from The Cure song ‘World War’ but I could be wrong.
Everything becomes past tense eventually.
My pal Geeksy used to sit drinking on the roof of his flat on Fullarton Street and watch the sun setting over Arran and the Firth of Clyde. I sat up there with him once looking out over the town that I had grown up in.
His flat was full of things and words that I was far too removed from, that I should have connected with somehow but I didn’t.
It’s too late now.
I hadn’t seen him for years but when my wife died he was at the back of the church, just standing there. He said it was important to stand with people.
'After Peter Seddon: Memories construct a different picture, Essie Stewart is playing the accordion again for Richard Burton'
In the 1980 the artist Peter Seddon created a series of large scale pastel drawings based on the Highland Clearances that explored themes such as history, memory and cultural difference.
These were included as part of the 1986 exhibition ‘As an Fhearann/ From the Land’ organised by An Lantair Gallery in Stornaway to mark the centenary of the Crofting Act. I visited the exhibition when it first came to Glasgow and it had a huge impact on not only my practice but also how I was to view the Highlands and Islands of Scotland that I would be living in for the next fifteen or so years of my life.
The drawing is the first in an occasional series exploring the themes that I first came across in Peter's work and takes it's subject matter from Tim Neats' book 'the Summer Walkers' where he writes about the the pearl fishers and traveling families of Scotland.

Another sketchbook reaches a permanent state of finished unfinishedness
‘What are we to do now that we are happy?’
‘I’ve always felt that stories and pictures were a way of keeping people I knew alive and as they were, portraits for instance that show people young or middle aged long after they’re dead and keep them remembered long after they’re forgotten’.
Alasdair Gray
‘To begin at the beginning….’
Something loosely based on events that took place in Glasgow on the afternoon of June 3rd 1990.
‘The Big Day’ was a series of free concerts held across Glasgow to mark it’s year as European City of Culture.
Except it’s not really just about that at all, it never is…
