Portrait of Tim Stead

A proper lovely almost spring-like day today...
I went to Hamilton to check out the new Tim Stead exhibition which opened at the weekend at Low Parks Museum.
I'm writing about this master maker in wood for Saturday's Herald Arts supplement.
This is a portrait of Tim - appropriately enough in wood - by his friend, Eduardo Bersudsky, of Sharmanka. It was carved in 1992.
Many people know Tim's work through sitting on his chairs and supping at his tables in Cafe Gondolfi in Glasgow's Merchant City or coorying into the wee all wood Peep Hole, at GoMA in Glasgow.
Sadly, Tim died at the age of just 48 in 2000.
He described himself as an object maker and seed sower, which is the name of this exhibition.
It will be touring after it ends in Hamilton.
