"Scotland is a nation of dramatic weather and breathtaking landscapes of magnificent nature. Over the centuries, the people who have lived, explored and thrived in this country have developed a rich language to describe their surroundings: a uniquely Scottish vocabulary shaped by the very environment itself. Artist Amanda Thomson’s A Scots Dictionary of Nature brings together for the first time the deeply expressive vocabulary customarily used to describe land, wood, weather, birds, water and walking in Scotland". A talk about the making of A Scots Dictionary of Nature, with discussion about my broader practice and teaching at GSA, followed by conversation with the journalist Eve Livingston.
