Only for Freedom (2020)

Image
                        Arbroath, Angus Grotesque inequality, the Brexit fiasco and the disastrous handling of the Coronavirus all point towards a UK political system that is badly broken. Under this system Scotland has no real voice on issues of critical importance.  Only for Freedom  is a series of photographs made in each of Scotland's thirty-two council areas. It stands as a declaration of independence written by light. This work was due to be exhibited in April 2020 to coincide with the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath. The physical exhibition was cancelled due to Covid 19. An online exhibition and discussion was organised by Street Level Photoworks.                        Glasgow Cathedral, Glasgow City                         Dunbar, East Lothian                         Kirkwall, Orkney                        Turnberry, South Ayrshire All images © Frank McElhinney Artist's talk hosted by Street Level Photowor
