This is Andrew Menzies. He drives a bus / art gallery.
Since 1978 Edinburgh's Museums and Galleries department have sent their Travelling Galllery, with an array of different exhibitions, around the country.
I met Andy, and the bus, in Irvine.
The bus was inspirational.
Andy was more so.
"Are you an artist?" I asked.
"I drive the bus," he said.
"But are you an artist?" I persevered. There was something about him.
He admitted to being a writer. But then he said, "We're all artists. Every one of us. We make art in how we present ourselves, how we dress, prepare a meal... There's art in everything we do, whether we realise it or not."
So, I'll leave you with Andy's thought. And my question.
We are all artists.
What sort of art does your travelling gallery contain?
