These are images from Tom McKendrick’s exhibition ‘Submarine’ shown in the old An Lanntair venue in Stornoway Town Hall in September 1991.
“The first and most ancient purpose of art was to visualise the invisible, gods the souls of ancestors, spirits, powers felt but unseen. Mythology was an
integral part of this purpose, creating a working hypothesis by which mankind could touch, appease and understand things he feared or desired. In a parody to theses ancient purposes, I have called upon my shipyard experiences to create ‘Submarine’. A temple to man’s quest for ‘invisibility’.” Tom McKendrick 1991
