A short film made by the National Galleries of Scotland, in conversation with Stephanie Strain, Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh.

"In this episode of Perspectives, artist, writer and lecturer Amanda Thomson joins Stephanie Straine, in front of an artwork at the National Galleries of Scotland that caught her eye — A Line Made by Walking, by Richard Long (1967).

This is one of many conversations, offering fresh perspectives on artworks in our galleries. Brilliant creative thinkers choose a work they love and share their way of seeing art and our world.

Amanda Thomson is a visual artist and writer who is also a lecturer at the Glasgow School of Art. Originally trained as a printmaker, her interdisciplinary work is often about notions of home, movements, migrations, landscapes and the natural world and how places come to be made."
