Subject and Association DescriptionOne of the most significant feminist artists of her generation, Linder has created interventions of uncanny glamour and enchantment in Glasgow’s East End. Her site specific works include a spectacular flag commissioned for the Library’s façade, drawing upon the feminist and pop culture artefacts in the Library’s collection. Linder has also created a film work, shot on location at the Mary Queen of Scots Bower, Chatsworth, Derbyshire, where the anointed queen spent some of the fifteen years she was detained under the jurisdiction of Elizabeth I.

Louise Gray has gained a reputation for questioning the rules – celebrating odd, arty, and individualism. Louise trained at The Glasgow School of Art and Central Saint Martin’s. This heady mix of textiles and fashion background coupled with a forward attitude lends itself to a unique style and opinion that makes the Louise Gray world an interesting place. Louise has collaborated with recently with Marques’ Almeida at London fashion week as well as Topshop, Brora, Judy Blame, Lane Crawford and The Victoria and Albert museum as well as many others.
