This unique reflection on the world of Robert Burns places a range
of photographic artworks by celebrated Scottish artist Calum Colvin
alongside poems written in response to each work by 'weel-kent'
Scots poet Rab Wilson. Colvin's multi-referential artworks are
concerned with the very process of looking, perceiving and
interpreting. The potential meaning of any individual piece is
intrinsically linked to the viewer’s personal deconstruction of
the image. Utilising the unique fixed-point perspective of the
camera, Colvin creates and records manipulated and constructed
images in order to create elaborate narratives which meditate on
numerous aspects of Scottish culture, identity and the human
condition in the early 21st century. At times witty, controversial
and tender, the images are presented alongside poems in response by
Rab Wilson which equally reflect on the life and aspects of Burns
to dwell on who we are, and where we have been, toward what we may
become. As Burns reflected through his art the world he inhabited,
these works and words strive to reflect on a myriad of contemporary
concerns.
