THE ART ISSUE
ROSS FRASER MCLEAN
Ross Fraser Mclean is a Dundee native whose photography has taken him from a rapidly-modernising China to the crumbling barrios of Cuba and
rural Northern India. His work – primarily comprised of analogue photography but including digital work and now cinematography – offers a personal reflection on wider issues, drawing direct links between the individual and society. Most recently he exhibited work from his travels in India in August 2011, during which time he was a virtual captive in an isolated village populated by snake-charmers. rossfrasermclean.com

British Columbia in Vancouver and currently works at the Glasgow Sculpture Studios. His latest work is set on Inchgarvie Island under the Forth Rail Bridge.
