Alban Arthan is a Druidic term for 'light of winter.'
If spelt Alban Arthuan, it means 'light of Arthur',
referring to a mythical Arthur Pendragon sleeping
beneath a mountain who will one day reawaken.
Given the growing interest in the truth hidden within the
old Arthurian tales, particularly with Fergus's developing
body of work, it felt like an apt name for this show.
Here are some images from the online
exhibition which accompanied the one in Eskdalemuir,
for which each artist showed two pieces of work.
