We were so sorry to learn of the death of artist Christine Borland. Christine exhibited at DCA in our opening year, 1999, and more recently generously made new work as part of our 2020 Editions project, which helped to support us during the pandemic. She was a pioneering, much-loved and hugely respected artist, colleague and friend to so many here, across Scotland and further afield, and our thoughts are with her family at this very sad time.
