Artist and writer Greg Moodie discusses his work and how he came to cross paths with Walter Scott whilst creating a series of reimaginings of notable Scottish figures for his books ‘Borrowing Burns’ and ‘Cool Scots’, as well as his exhibition of paintings, ‘Poetic Licence’. The process involved taking existing images, in this case Henry Raeburn’s famous painting of Scott, and lifting them out of the period in which they were created in order to jolt the viewer out of any preconceived ideas of time.
