The Islanders project began in 2004. Its author, Charles Avery, was born in Mull in 1973; it was the life of this isle that inspired Avery to create an imaginary Island in rich detail, from its strange beasts to its fantastical gods.
While previous Avery exhibitions have presented chapters of this ongoing project, this exhibition illustrates all the work-to-date together in one place. Spread across the ground floor of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the Island will be brought to life through texts, drawings, installations and sculptures.
Use this section to get a feel for the imagined Island, meet its inhabitants and learn about its customs and rituals.
All text is taken from The Islanders: An Introduction by Charles Avery.
