Author LG Thomson and artist Liz Reid met at art school in 1981. This October, as the closing event in Liz's solo exhibition INK, they will be reunited at Cass Art where they will discuss LG's latest book, Bitter Fruit, a narrative memoir in which Liz is one of the main characters. The pair will reflect on their time at art school, what life was like for aspiring artists in 1980s Scotland, and the paths taken since.
LG will talk about the process of writing a memoir and find out from Liz what it's like to read about yourself in a book. As LG is well-known for the dark humour in her novels and memoirs, this promises to be an entertaining and thought-provoking event with creativity at its heart.
Come and meet both the author and artist and join their discussion over a glass of wine or two, then feel free to stay on for a last chance to view Liz's solo exhibition of drawings, prints and urban sketches.
