Wick Celtic sand panel – A4 poster

Oor ain culture Culture is one of the main things that define a country. It makes one place on a map more than simply in a different location to another place on a map. Scotland is no exception to this. From our tartans and traditions, to our writing, music, languages and so much more, the culture that has come to define Scotland has become known around the world. Cringe no more Since the 1707 Act of Union that took away Scotland's independence, Scots have been taught to dislike, dismiss, or even flat out deny their culture. Known as the Scottish Cringe, this in-built censor manifests in all sorts of ways, often around words such as 'twee' and 'parochial'. Bringing a sense of worth back to Scots through a focus on their Scottish culture is my main aims in creating this art. About this piece Named for the town of Wick, the birthplace of one of my earliest traceable ancestors, this panel combines Celtic spirals patterns and plant forms with Celtic knotwork borders. The artwork Whilst the original makers of Celtic and Pictish art forms would have been limited to using colours made from natural dyes, I had no such restriction and was able to indulge my passion for colour! Each of my Celtic and Pictish panels is available in four colourways that can combine to produce some very eye-catching results.
