REFLECTIONS ON THE ART SCHOOL ‘BUBBLE’ | Kate McAllan
https://katemcallan.wordpress.com/2015/08/25/reflections-on-the-art-school-bubble
Scottish Artist and Writer. REFLECTIONS ON THE ART SCHOOL ‘BUBBLE’. August 25, 2015. August 25, 2015. Sculpture Court, Edinburgh College of Art. Its a liberating idea to attend an institution free from restrictions but the idea only goes so far with this ‘creative experience’ lasting only the duration of the degree.

http://cuboetexcuboj.blogspot.com/2014/01/drummond-castle-gardens.html
I Sleep and Watch' Observing places that affect imagination, memory and perception. Thursday, 2 January 2014. Visitors to Drummond approach the castle up the long avenue, turn through the tunnel into the outer courtyard, then turn under gatehouse arch into the inner courtyard. Only when they reach the parapet wall does the magnificent formal garden come, spectacularly , into view. Nothing can prepare one for the visual impact of the reveal, a coup de theatre. Unsurpassed by any other garden in Scotland.
