About
Andrew Patrizio will introduce the work of well-known and highly respected Scottish artist Robert Callender, who made an artform out of combing Scotland’s beaches, particularly its far North-Western reaches. His work delights audiences with its clever technique, but there is also a darker message behind the magnificent objects he made.
Andrew Patrizio is Professor of Scottish Visual Culture at Edinburgh College of Art. He is the author of a chapter on the artist for the major portfolio book ‘A2B: Robert Callender’ (2015).
