"Navigating
Stevenson" is a visual portrait of Robert Louis Stevenson,
Scottish writer and poet of the 19th century. This work was conducted
in collaboration with The Writer's Museum and the Scottish National
Portrait Gallery, using Stevenson's family photographic albums from
his pacific voyages and the rare and delicate artefacts and personal
possessions from the museum displays.
The
exhibition "Navigating Stevenson" consists of nine large
digital panels, the Stevenson Pacific Photograph albums and the
Count Nerli oil portrait of R.L.S. Each image has been constructed
using a combination of photography, CAD (Computer Aided Design)
software and digital imaging.
"Navigating
Stevenson" is held at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery,
Edinburgh from 31 January to 11 May 2003 and on tour 2003-2004 at
Callender House, Falkirk; Collins Gallery, University of Strathclyde,
the Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter and Brighton
Museum & Art Gallery.
"Navigating
Stevenson" is supported by the Scottish Arts Council, Napier
University, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Southern &
South-East Arts and Falmouth College of Arts. |
