Sorcha Dallas
Sorcha Dallas graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in 1998, developing a creative practice centred on working with others. In 2007 she began working with Scottish polymath Alasdair Gray, gaining widespread critical and commercial appreciation for his previously unseen body of visual work. After Alasdair’s death in 2019 she was tasked with legacy planning which led to the creation of The Alasdair Gray Archive, a charity that prioritises learning, public engagement and ongoing creative commissioning. She has created all of this with Gray’s ethical framework at its core and reflecting his approach to making as a socially focused action. Her practice is centred on collaborative learning and facilitative leadership.
