A SCOTTISH artist is hoping for greater success after representing his country at the world’s biggest Celtic festival.
Lewis Deeney, based in Dunbar, travelled to the Interceltique Festival in France, which is partly funded by Creative Scotland.
He explained: “I’d always been creative and would do different things. I was the type of kid who’d stick all the Lego in one box and build some fancy creation rather than follow the rules. On his process, he said: “I use a laser cutter to cut a design, which I create on the computer first, out of a sheet of wood.
“The Celts and the Picts in the north-east of Scotland developed this kind of art. They would carve these kind of patterns predominantly into stones but they would also do a lot of ornamentation as well”, Deeney explained.
