Trace

Archaeology has provided the ground for much modern and contemporary Scottish art.

From Wilhelmina Barns Graham’s elemental series of abstract images about time and earth to Kate Downie's drawings and paintings of the Forth Bridge.

Scotland's historic environments have inspired writers from Scott to Grassic Gibbon to Iain Banks and Kathleen Jaimie.

Representing archaeology through art and science, images and text from leading Scottish artists will be juxtaposed in a new publication for EAA Glasgow 2015 called Trace.

Commissioned by EAA Glasgow 2015 and sponsored by Historic Scotland and Forestry Commission Scotland, Trace includes images recently created by using digital survey technology of Scottish brochs and cairns and objects created through research on the artistic crafts of Early Medieval Scotland.
