The Kirk of Calder in Mid-Calder, West Lothian, Scotland is a beautiful village church which comes with a fascinating history and, over the years, a bewildering variety of names. Sometimes referred to as the Parish Kirk of Midcalder, it was until the Reformation known as St Cuthbert’s. At various times since it has been known as Calder Kirk and, briefly, St John’s to reflect local links with the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. The name “Kirk of Calder” dates back to a merger of congregations in 1956 and has a neatness that suits the building well. St Cuthbert’s Church was originally built on this site some time around 1150 and was among the properties granted to Dunfermline Abbey in the 1160s. In 1526, Peter Sandilands became Rector of the church. He was the younger son of the Sandilands family who had been granted the Barony of Calder and large estates in the area in 1348. The head of the family later became Lord Torphichen and acquired the lands of Torphichen Preceptory after the Reformation in 1563. The family seat was (and remains) at Calder House, very close to Mid Calder and the Kirk of Calder. By 1540 St Cuthbert’s was past its sell-by date and the Reverend Peter Sandilands had the church demolished to make way for a larger and more modern replacement. By 1542 it must have seemed to him that the rebuilding work would outlast him, because he left a highly detailed account of the way the church was to be completed for his nephew, Sir James Sandilands, together with the funds to allow it to happen. / / At the onset of the Reformation in 1560 only the choir and vestry of Peter Sandilands’ church had been completed, together with a lean-to school building that has since disappeared. His original plans provided for a much larger nave continuing to the west and a cloister to the north. Neither was ever built. For the next three hundred years the choir of the church served the needs of the local community, with multiple galleries inserted to try to fit an ever growing congregation into the relatively small space on offer. In 1863 the church was expanded with the addition of north and south transepts, turning it into the “T” shape then popular in Scottish churches. What emerged was pretty much what you see today. The Kirk of Calder’s story was not without incident. Perhaps the low point was in 1644 when the wave of witch-hunting sweeping across Scotland was taken up with enthusiasm by the Minister, Huw Kennedy. Several alleged witches were burned in Midcalder as a result. A more notable moment had occurred rather earlier, in 1556, when John Knox became a regular preacher following the Sandilands’ embracing of the Reformation. He probably preached in the partly completed new church.

The John Knox House is an historic house in Edinburgh, Scotland, reputed to have been owned and lived in by Protestant Reformer John Knox during the 16th century. The house itself was built in 1490, featuring a fine wooden gallery and hand-painted ceiling. Over the next few centuries many decorations and paintings were added, and the house and its contents are now a museum. The original 15th century house has been largely unaltered since the 1550’s when the Mosman family, Goldsmiths to Mary Queen of Scots, remodelled the house. John Knox, leader of the Scottish Reformation and founder of the Presbyterian Church, lived here for a short time before he died here in 1572. / The building is owned by the Church of Scotland and is now administered as part of the new, adjacent Scottish Storytelling Centre. / / Located On the Royal Mile between Edinburgh Castle & Holyroodhouse.

I painted this ‘self portrait’ in 1969, when I was 25 years old. I’ve kept it hidden in storage all these years and maybe a dozen or so others have seen it briefly. It is only now, at the end of 2009 (almost exactly forty years later) when I’ve pulled everything artistic out of my storage closet to photograph and potentially submit to RedBubble, has this painting/ sketch come out into the light. / If ever I had a ‘life defining’ subject to ‘come out of the closet’ about this is it. I’ve hidden this image of myself… primarily from myself. Now I’m ready to look at it and understand how this humiliating image has been ‘running the show’ from deep within my unconscious. This is the last image my ego wants me to see, much less analyze, much less show. This is the current symbol of healing my deepest inner wounds. Publishing this image is the message to myself that I am committed to personal transformation. It is my gift to all who are drawn to look at it and see it for what it is: An invitation to explore the deepest most hidden corners of your self defining beliefs about what and where you are. The original title I wrote on the back of this 18” x 28” scrap of Masonite board was “Broken Image”. A month ago when I pulled it out of the closet and began to think about loading it to my ever growing self-curated RB profile I mentally renamed it “Lust Lost”. For the memories about how and when this painting came to be began to flood into my awareness. In 1969, after returning from being drafted into the US Army and serving a year in the Viet Nam war, I was back in Jamaica. I was beginning an idealistic term of teaching art and creating a master architectural plan for a K-12 school, Knox College, in the center of the island. I had met and fallen head over heals in lust with a young and beautiful graduate of the school. At the time of the painting we agreed we could never live apart and thus to marry. / The night this image was presented to me in all its horrifying detail my fiance and I had been in very passionate embrace. In the heat of the moment, when any constrain or consideration had left my personality, she jumped out of bed, dressed and ran back to her parents house (also on campus.) / In this heightened state of arousal and disillusionment I stumbled into my simple bathroom and stood in front of the sink/mirror. I slammed my fist against the wall and the edge of my hand caught the edge of the mirror. The upper part of the mirror snapped into large shards which slid down behind the lower section, that stayed in place. / I froze, staring into the eyes of that self image, into the shattered reflection. It pointed an accusing finger, and in its own broken way it pointed back accusingly at me. I took in every detail of what I saw. In that fascinated frozen emotional state I went into the other room and found the bit of board and a pencil. / I returned to the image in the broken mirror. I sketched it. I found a jar of white paint and a brush and painted in the broken mirror shards. It dried, I sketched in my face and hand. I found a jar of black paint and finished off this sad shattered self portrait. I never showed it to my fiance nor anyone else in Jamaica. I buried it in the back of the closet and have carried it from closet to closet ever since. When I started this ‘tale of whoa’ above I claimed that this hidden ‘self’ had run my life. Yes, that’s been my journey, more or less. Now, as logic and observation make immanently clear, the journey begins to wind down. To draw towards its closing sometime in the next months or years. “What the hell was it all about anyway?” That’s the question I started asking about ten years ago and ever more in earnest. / This painting has come out of the closet when I can look at it full face and begin to smile, chuckle and even gently laugh with it. Here is my youthful humiliation and self doubt that so much of my life’s activities have been about both hiding or overcoming. Here is one of my primary life lessons so graphically and starkly presented to me, by none other than myself. Aha! Isn’t that how great self revelation always comes, not from without, but from within. The outer merely shows up with whatever it can in the moment to gently reveal to yourself what it is you most want to learn, overcome and integrate. In preparing this for loading onto RB a pair of secret eyes appeared off the figures left shoulder. I was delighted with them and enhanced them ever so slightly… they’re the eyes of all the angels in my life who showed up and loved me enough to help me learn my lessons. / Now, if ever one could label a work ‘experimental’ then this is it… life; the grand experiment.

Back in 1969, after returning from Viet Nam, I returned to Jamaica to help an innovative school in the center of the island with some master plan and building projects. To qualify for a ‘work permit’ the school convinced me I’d have to have a teaching job, and the art teacher position was open. / I stayed for two years, with four hundred kids a week trucking through my art room for their hour of instruction. Did I mention there was almost no money for any supplies, and only a few boxes of well used brushes, conte crayons and bits and pieces from past art teachers. / I convinced a paint company in Kingston to donate three fifty gallon drums of interior latex house paint and about ten quarts of different hues of pure colorant for mixing. The bulk of the students were grade six through eight and a few older ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels, who I quickly convinced were to be ‘teacher aids’ (Teach what you want to learn.) / In the two years we taught mural design and accomplished putting up around the school over forty murals with an average size about six feet high by ten feet wide. / I also designed and supervised construction of a four level ‘community house’ with local workmen from the surrounding hills. I was very busy and this painting of one of the students is just one of the few I have left of my own work from that period. / It’s also painted with latex on Masonite board and is 22” x 32”. / Need I add that the whole program was a huge experiment… particularly since I had no formal training in art or teaching… and just a little in architecture and construction… Ah, what the young can accomplish when they have no idea what’s going to be involved! Ha… ;-))) / Oh yes, when I visited the school in 2002 there was no evidence left of any murals, but two building I designed were still there.

During the two years of ‘69 to ‘71 I worked and taught at a school in the center of the island I painted some landscapes and buildings that captured my attention. This view from near the interior town of Christiana I painted with a Jamaica shaped cloud in the sky. The original had three small blue dots to show where I lived or visited friends on the island. (I’ve experimented enhancing the dots on this version) Knox College in the center near Christiana, Montego Bay to the west (left) and Kingston to the east. / It is a latex painting on 16” x 24” Masonite board. (1971)
