| Richard Demarco - The Road to Meikle Seggie |
Themes:
The poignancy of the open road inviting new beginnings
Of rough, twisted and looping roads signifying personal travels in life, of endings or the possibilities of new directions
The sadness, happiness, apprehension, fear, joy of travelling
Of
being in Moffat and the sense of its place. Half way between Carlisle
and Edinburgh, a settled place since Roman marched in and through, a
town whose road loop over the shoulders of the embracing hills but which
sits in a cul de sac of a glen in whose upper reaches is the celebrated
Grey Mare's Tail waterfall.
A staging post for changing horses.
