"Finlaggan on the Isle of Islay is of great importance in Scottish history. Two islands close to the north shore of the Loch, Eilean Mòr and Eilean Na Comhairle, the latter a prehistoric crannog, where the council was held concerning the government of the Lordship of the Isles, still contain remains of buildings. The MacDonald Lords of the Isles ruled the islands from Kintyre to Lewis with strong links to Ireland and the Isle of Man, virtually independent of Royal control. Eilean Mòr is now approached on stilted wooden board walkways through the reeds."
–Frances Walker


Taken from Frances Walker: Printing On, an exhibition curated by Peacock: a workshop for art, taking place at the Aberdeen Art Gallery in 2022. The exhibition features six new prints by Aberdeen-based printmaker Frances Walker realised in collaboration with Peacock during the past two extraordinary years. Looking back on her travels throughout the years, some of the prints are re-elaborations of previous plates. The prints trace a printmaking journey that unfolds through time as well as space, capturing the atmospheric presence of place and memory.
