Abstract:

This is an on-going series of paintings that look at how the Gaelic language has explored colour in landscape. Many hills in Scotland contain the Gaelic word for a particular colour in their name. These text paintings highlight the differences between mountains through a colour classification.

Additionally, a printed text work "A Glossary of Coloured Hills" acts as a companion piece to these paintings.

The print work (where I am the main author - I am the sole author of the paintings) was aided through conversation with poet and artist Alec Finlay as we sought to originate more nuanced, lyrical translations than those offered by the official Scot's/Gaelic dictionary.
