Brilliant visit to Botanic Garden @dundeeuni to talk drinking fountains with @KevinFrediani & Simon Harlow of Mirrl, maker of fountains. Next year we'll install Mirrl's Dixon fountain in the Gardens, its colourway inspired by rhubarb! #scottishwater #lessplastic #dundee

Brilliant @Demetrius_Art talking Scottish New Town Art & Sculpture for @C20Society. Interesting to hear how the towns of Irvine, Glenrothes, Cumbernauld, East Kilbride & Livingston invited artists to make site-specific work in the 60 & 70s. Here's Harding with Henge Glenrothes.
