Seven Women is part of a wider body of work Chunnacas na mairbh beò (The Dead Have Been Seen Alive) by Ken Currie exhibited at Glasgow Print Studio in 2022. The title of the exhibition was taken from Sorley MacLean's 'Hallaig', a poetic response to the Clearances on the Isle of Raasay.  

Inspired by and propelled by the printmaking techniques which Currie studied and began to master in 2015, these works are broadly influenced by the study of Egyptian Funerary portraits from AD 40-250.  Frozen in time like photographs, these ancient and remarkable images are unique, extraordinarily beautiful artefacts which have, for many years, fascinated and haunted Currie. 

This exhibit will include a written response to Seven Women by author and Lecturer in Creative Writing at Stirling, Kevin MacNeil.
