Dies Anniversarius40/40

Carey, June, 1942 (b.) (Artist)‎, Glasgow Print Studio (Publisher)‎

Symbols relating to Glasgow and Scotland’s heritage feature in this image; heraldic flags, Latin text from inscriptions on buildings and the Print Studio’s initials on a shield. The print is part of a new body of work, inspired by visits to Scotland’s castles, palaces and museums. As the artist explains; “The research for this new work has taken me on a journey of discovery which has offered me a rich source of ideas and has inspired new pride in my own Scottish Culture.” The print’s title translates from Latin as ‘The Anniversary’, reflecting the idea behind the 40/40 project. June has been creating prints at the Print Studio since the late 1980s. This print was made as part of the 40/40 exhibition in 2013, to mark 40 years of Glasgow Print Studio. 40 artists were each invited to make an edition of 40 prints, which was exhibited at Glasgow Print Studio from 24th August to 13th October 2013.
