David Mach Collages

Internationally renowned Scottish artist and Turner Prize nominee David Mach will exhibit around 100 small collages, approx. 7 by 5 inches each. David has been working on these pieces for some time now and in recent months has struck a rich vein of ideas covering a plethora of subjects using comic material from D.C.Thomson, Dundee. “It’s no surprise that the Eden flows through Cupar and that will be one of the themes I investigate.

From Rannoch to St John’s

From Rannoch to St John’s One of our CAF exhibitions is currently making its way to the Festival via a rather unusual route – Maris is carrying the artwork Reliquary on foot from their studio in Rannoch to Cupar, where it will be housed in St John’s Church on Bonnygate. Speaking to Jenny Messenger, Maris explained that they were drawn to St John’s Church because of the nature of their project, which reconstructs a lost work based on the ancient Celtic poem The Song of Amergin: ‘Reliquary suggested a ‘sepulchral’ or ‘sacred’ space.
