A photographic and electronic media student from Brechin has been awarded the BP Fine Art Award at Robert Gordon University’s Gray’s School of Art Degree Show.
Catherine Weir (21) was presented with her award and a cheque for £500 by Tim Smith, vice-president, communications and external affairs, BP Scotland, at the launch of the degree show, sponsored by BP.
Catherine was recognised for her thought-provoking work on the construct of time and our technological society.
The basis of her work, entitled In the Mean Time, was a quote from Japanese writer and photographer Shuji Terayama, that people cannot see time, they can only see clocks.
Catherine’s work combines modern and obsolete technology, such as a Box Brownie camera and candles, together with digital technology.
