Still Glory
Still Glory
Wednesday 12 October – Saturday 19 November 2022
An exhibition by two Scottish artists, on their appreciation of weathered beauty. Catherine Scott’s work, in mixed media and watercolour, celebrates the beauty and skill of outworn objects and fabric. This is echoed by the watercolours of Walter Bernardini, which depict buildings and landscapes of inspiration, including the Eildon hills.
Catherine Scott says Save everything, goes the advice from Pop Art nun Sister Corita Kent, it might come in handy later.
This is my instinct – that something beloved but broken can be refashioned. That orphaned objects can be gathered in. That memories are preserved in material. That we join hands with makers long gone when we touch their work
She also says of the materials she uses ... reworking them into something simultaneously new and old, I’m celebrating their survival over time; imagining and honouring the original makers.
Walter Bernardiniwho moved to the Scottish Borders just two years ago, is ninety, and still produces very carefully observed paintings. Old buildings have held a fascination for him, since he started work in Glasgow in the 1940s, and after a long career heading a design agency in Ireland he has drawn together a collection for this exhibition. All places that have personal meaning for him, whether Battlefield Rest in Glasgow, Kirkhope Tower in the Yarrow Valley, or Selkirk’s Haining, he has depicted them with deep affection.
