Blended Scotch Print

Blended Scotch is my very first creation of the "fabric series". I had always wanted to create a genealogy with tartans, that would look like a beautiful patchwork. The art piece represents a genealogical tree on four generations, over a scottish landscape. The title Blended Scotch refers primarily to a well known scottish commodity: whisky. Here though, it is used to describe a person's social situation. As you can see, the person is fully scottish in its origins, but the connaisseurs would recognise genuine clan tartans on the mother's side (on the right side of the tree), whereas the father's side presents mere commercial tartans, i.e. modern commercial creations in the tartan style... To match this: one can see a traditional scottish landscape with a Loch and a castle below the real tartans, which is the natural setting of Scottish nobility. On the left side, a smoky iindustrial town matches very well with the pseudo tartans, as the perfect setting for the paternal line... In a few words: this genealogical tree presents the blended scottish origins of the bearer: half traditional clansman, half industrial commoner... Nevertheless, the result remains harmonious, as there are tartans everywhere. Nowadays, with cultural exchanges and population migrations, even such a blended Scotch genealogy might be a rarity. Pure blood is obviously an illusion. That's where people differ from Whisky: single malt is usually better than any blend. On the contrary with people, mixtures usually create blood strength and enhanced population health!
