Red Roots Shine Through

To Dundee today to meet 'artists' curator' Lynda Morris, who is doing a series of salon events this week at Duncan of Jordanstone's Cooper Gallery.
I'll be writing about her in this Saturday's Herald.
She's a fascinating lady who mingled with the great and groovy of international art scene in the 70s before going on to make art careers from the unlikely location of Norwich.
This picture shows a cheque from Charles Saatchi. He wanted her to send a gratis copy of her East catalogue but she made him pay.
He sent a cheque which she kept but not before putting £12 in cash into the till.
During our chat, she said she still felt Scottish as her parents were both from Inverclyde.
I had to leave mid-way through her fascinating lecture on Drinking With Gilbert & George 1972-76 to catch a train home.
Exhibition of her personal archive is on show from March 9 - 5 April.
