EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Seat Of Repentance" transports us back in time to witness a unique moment in history. The scene captures two golfers, caught red-handed playing on the Sabbath, with balls and broken implements before them. As punishment for their transgression, they are made to sit on the Seat of Repentance while wearing sackcloth gowns. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in the preservation of both the seat and gowns at the Town Kirk of St. Andrews. It serves as a reminder of how societal norms and religious beliefs have shaped our behaviors throughout centuries. The horizontal composition allows us to fully immerse ourselves into this intriguing scene, where we can almost feel the weight of repentance upon these golfers' shoulders. The meticulous engraving technique used by Ken Welsh adds depth and texture to every detail captured within this print. "The Seat Of Repentance" is more than just a photograph; it is an artifact that tells a story about morality, tradition, and consequences. It prompts us to reflect on our own actions and consider how they align with our values. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to contemplate the power that society holds over individuals when it comes to enforcing moral codes – even through unconventional means such as sitting on a wooden bench wearing humble garments like sackcloth gowns.
