“The Great Lines” Watching Countryfile with my mum was a revelation, who would have thought that in 1774 scientists using a mountain in Perthshire – in an attempt to ‘weigh the world’ – would inadvertently invent contour lines. On Arran, […]

A collective of fellow Fine Art students, including myself, will see our film screened at the ICA Symposium, regarding the topic of ‘Just What is it that Makes Today’s Art Schools so Different, so Appealing?’ Join the conversation- SATURDAY 29th […]
