The earliest wearer is believed to be Mrs Elizabeth Taylor (née Macpherson) who was widowed in 1912. Her husband James Taylor was a crofter and farmed at Buldoo in Reay, Caithness.

Fisherman’s Gansey

Fisherman’s Gansey

This warm and largely waterproof jumper is a Wick gansey. The name ‘gansey’ is given to traditional hand knitted pullovers worn by fishermen in coastal communities around the British Isles, particularly in the 1800s and early 1900s. The gansey is a perfect working garment because it is less constricting than a jacket but warm and hardwearing against wind and rain.

Roska yacht Jersey

Roska yacht Jersey

Between the 1870s and 1930s, men from Lochside on the shores of Loch Broom found a working life in the wealthy world of big yacht racing. Sailing and yacht racing were favourite pastimes of Britain’s richest families. Wealthy owners employed men from this area because of their excellent seamanship skills. The most popular waters for racing were the waters of the Solent in the south of England, and the Clyde on the west coast of Scotland. Although World War One interrupted yacht cruising and racing, it was revived in 1919 when King George V ordered the refit of his royal racing yacht Britannia.

Lee Ufan

To behold a painting or sculpture by the Korean artist and philosopher Lee Ufan is to feel suspended in a single breath longer than seems biologically possible. Whether consisting of an isolated brushstroke on canvas or an installation of carefully counterpoised rocks and steel plates, each work is an encounter between interior and exterior that produces a lasting reverberation.

Victoria Sin

Victoria Sin

’Indifferent Idols.’ ’Kiss My Genders.’ ’DO DISTURB.’ Over the past few years, the work of multimedia artist Victoria Sin – a staple of London’s queer club culture – has appeared in group exhibitions with a notably defiant slant in Taipei, London, and Paris, as well as during the Venice Biennale and Art Basel Hong Kong. Through films and performances that constitute a kind of double drag, Sin highlights viewers’ expectations and fantasies, then proceeds to slyly – and completely – dismantle them.

Judy Chicago-The Birth Project

Judy Chicago-The Birth Project

‘Humankind is represented by mankind … Fake news!’, said Judy Chicago, laughing, when she met Art Basel’s video team at the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami. Most of the artist’s forty-year-long career has been spent debunking that myth. For the Birth Project (1980-85), Chicago turned her eye to what she saw as a major blind spot in art history: the representation of birth. Working with 150 volunteer needleworkers spread around the United States, she produced 85 needlepoint and textile works picturing women pregnant or giving birth, caught between joy and excruciating pain.
