THE ANGEL OF REPARATION PATCHES

THE INSPIRATION

THERE IS AN ANGEL IN THE HIGHLANDS, THAT IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER ANGEL.  HER LOCATION AND HER "GARB" SENDS A SIGNIFICANT MESSAGE.  LOCATED WITHIN THE KIRK WINDOW OF FORT GEORGE, HER STORY IS BY NO MEANS FINISHED.

SHE MAY HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED A SYMBOL OF CULTURAL SURPRESSION AND ATTEMPTED COLONISATION OF THE HIGHLAND REGION PERTINENT TO THE 18TH CENTURY.  PLAYING BAGPIPES WRAPPED IN TARTAN DURING A TIME WHEN SUCH THINGS WERE BANNED....

BUT NOW SHE COULD BE THE VERY ANGEL OF REPARATION THAT GIVES BACK IN A WAY THAT NOBODY WOULD EVER HAVE FORSEEN!

THE SECURING OF A HIGHLAND TARTAN ACT WILL NEED TO BE FUNDED AND WE HOPE THAT REBELS AROUND THE WORLD WILL STAND WITH THE HIGHLANDERS.

THE ANGEL FEATURED IN WINDOW HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A PATCH FOR ALL TO ADORN, EMBROIDERED ONTO TARTAN WOVEN IN THE ONLY WEAVING MILL CURRENTLY IN THE MAINLAND HIGHLAND REGION.

THE ARTISIT

MICHAEL FORBES IS A HIGHLY ACCLAIMED REBELLIOUS POP SURREAL ARTISIT, AND OF COURSE A HIGHLANDER.  WORKING WITH MICHAEL HE HAS CREATED A 21ST CENTURY VERSIO OF HER, ALLOWING HER TO ASCEND TO THE ANGEL OF REPARATION FOR TARTAN.

 MICHAEL ADDED DELICATE SCOTTISH PRIMROSES AS A SYMBOL OF HOW SOMETHING VERY DELICATE AND VERY SMALL CAN SURVIVE.  THE SCOTTISH PRIMROSE IS LARGELY FOUND IN THE HIGHLAND REGION AND CAN BE SPOTTED ALONG OUR RUGGED COAST LINES OF THE NORTH.
