University Christmas card 2005

The image on this year's official University Christmas card was produced by Will Maclean, a research professor at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (DJCAD).

The image was commissioned by Proiseact Nan Ealan, The Gaelic Arts Project, for Leabhar Mòr, The Great Book of Gaelic.

Will Maclean produced the image from the poems of Nuala Ní Dhomnaill, entitled Pharaoh's Daughter. The image calligraphy is by Frances Breen. The poem on the inside entitled The Language Issue was translated by Paul Muldoon. The painting is a pen and ink and acrylic on paper. Images within the painting are drawn from various sources that include medieval illuminated manuscripts such as the book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels.

The Christmas card is available from the External Relations Department. Cards are the same price as last year, 40p each, with the price discounted the more you purchase.
