ancestor series by pamela so
Pamela So is based in Glasgow and North Ayrshire and is of Chinese descent. She draws upon two cultures, to reveal connections between Scottish and Chinese histories.
Her ancestor series, begun during a residency at the Crawford Arts Centre, St Andrews in 2005, was developed for a solo show at the Collins Gallery, Glasgow.
This series transforms Scottish landscapes into mysterious environments featuring the artist’s ancestors.
In Watersongs, Pamela So uses the river and landscape of Inverclyde to reveal the links between China and Scotland through trade, industry and migration.
