Join the next installment of the Research Seminar Series, hosted by Professor Heather Pulliam, as we explore the captivating topic of "The Transmutation of Patterns and the Role of Women in Insular Art." This thought-provoking lecture, led by Dr. Cynthia Thickpenny, Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the School of Art History at the University of Edinburgh, delves into the fascinating world of early medieval Ireland and Britain (c. AD 600-1100). The Insular artists of this era developed a remarkable technique known as 'transmutation', where abstract patterns seamlessly transformed into one another, revealing a completely different geometric structure. This mesmerizing form of artistry can be witnessed in manuscript illuminations, carved stone, metalwork, and even textiles. In fact, woven and embroidered textiles created by women during the Insular period will be a particular focus of Dr. Thickpenny's presentation. By comparing these textile masterpieces with contemporary manuscripts, carved stone, and metalwork, we gain insight into the significant role that women embroiderers and weavers played in the Insular creative sphere. Following the lecture, attendees are invited to a delightful drinks reception in the Higgitt Gallery. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to delve into the world of Insular art and discover the profound contributions made by women in this field. Please note that the event will take place on February 1, 2024, at the Hunter Lecture Theatre O.17, Hunter Building (Edinburgh College of Art), 74 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9DF. Admission is free of charge.

The view is good and the interior is not allowed to take pictures. The ticket is accompanied by a Chinese explanation, and the explanation is also very interesting, mainly used by the Scottish royal family between King David in Scotland in the 12th century and James VI in the 17th century, and the room where Mary and her husband Darnley were assassinated in Scotland.
