| Description | Image with several hexagonal shapes. Printed in black, orange and green ink. This set of prints includes work by eight artists who are connected both by their use of the Glasgow Print Studio to make artwork and by having received funding from the Bet Low Trust for a range of projects. The Bet Low Trust is a registered Scottish charity. This Trust, set up by Scottish artist Bet Low DLitt ARSA RSW RGI, awards scholarships to students or practising artists in Scotland in the fields of drawing or painting. The artists involved were Rachel Duckhouse, Andreas Behn Eschenburg, Claire Forsyth, Alistair Gow, Bronwen Sleigh, Karen Vaughan, Alasdair Wallace and Abigaile Neate Wilson. The title LOW LANDS references that each artist involved works in a land that has been enriched by Bet Low. She is an important figure in Scottish art and her influence is still actively felt through the generosity of the Bet Low Trust. The title also reference Low's own artwork, which shows her love for landscape. Each artist received one of each of the prints made. In addition to this set, one was given to the Bet Low Trust and two sets to the sponsors of the project. The creation of this set of prints was aided by generous sponsorship from John Purcell Paper and Downie Allison Downie bookbinders. |
