The image forms part of a new exhibition at the Gateway Galleries - Instruments of Interpretation: Works By Calum Colvin Inspired by Sir David Brewster.
Celebrated contemporary Scottish artist Calum Colvin is working with St Andrews University students of Museum and Gallery Studies to create an exhibition looking at Sir David Brewster, the development of early photography, the stereoscope and the way in which different 'instruments of interpretation' can influence how we perceive our surroundings.
The exhibition opens on 21 March 2009 and runs until 16 May in the Gateway Gallery, Gateway Building, North Haugh, St Andrews. The gallery is open Monday to Friday: 09.00-17.30, Saturday: 10.00-17.00, and entry is free.
