The Loss of Gaelic
A Night of Islands, a suite of 10 colour etchings with text.
Signed.
Edition of 40. Signed, numbered and titled verso.
‘Sioldadh no Gaidhlige’, a poem by Meg Bateman, was the inspiration for this etching. The poem deals with the decline of the language and culture of the Gael with the imagery of a fraying anchor rope. Will Maclean’s dark mournful etching, with half-present figures and obscured symbols conveys this dreadful loss. However, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon as a shaft of light illuminates the Highland landscape.
