Yesterday, we were pleased to welcome @johnswinney.bsky.social to the Pathfoot Building to see This Fragile Earth. It was great to have him recognise the importance of art in discussions of climate policy.

We've had some conservation work done on 2 Stainless Steel Forms with White by Justin Knowles. This sculpture was one of very early works purchased for the University in 1967, so it's great to get it back to looking it's best!
Two upright rectangular sculptures facing each other on a grass lawn with a loch and buildings in the background and some trees at the edges of the image. The sculptures look grainy,mossy and dirty, with some of the dirt been removed on the sculpture to the right.

For our 'Christmas Night Out' this year we visited our local stone carver Cameron Wallace to try our hand at his craft!

He makes it look a LOT easier than it is.
