Fat man/Fat Andy 2005 - North Uist

Part of a series of land commissions, this is an extension of earlier fat work.

On the shoulder of the two hills Maari and Crogearraidh Mor,
Andy Mackinnon [Art's Director of Taigh Chearsabhagh]
helpfully lay on the rock allowing me to draw around him.
The shape filled in with fat to feed the birds.

According to legend, the MacQueens of Oransay buried
a golden treasure in a foal's skin near the summit. I never found it.
