'Unnad' Indigenous

‘Unnad’ Indigenous is the latest offering from renowned Lewis artist, Calum Angus MacKay. Having been described as “set to become a star” in 1994, he hasn’t disappointed.

In this book, containing over 100 photographs of his work both old and new, he details the circumstances behind each piece and what they mean to him. This collection of his work highlights his journey through life and art dealing with grief, death, family, history and community.

This book, written in both Gaelic and English, offers the reader an insight into some of Calum Angus’ remarkable work and his awareness of what is in us all.

Calum Angus MacKay, broadcaster, programme maker and artist, combines a crofting life in the Western Isles with a career in Gaelic broadcasting and his activities as a photographer.

His photographs make reference to local history and folklore without being nostalgic or sentimental. A creative career spanning some 30 years across television and radio. Having had his first book, Isolate, published in 1999, ‘Unnad’ Indigenous is well worth the wait.
