Sam Ainsley: Passion, Imagination, Conscience

Sam Ainsley refuses to be told what to do. For decades she has created work inspired by literature, film, music, and politics, forging a unique career while simultaneously nurturing new generations of pioneering visual artists in Scotland, as co-founder of the Environmental Art programme and Head of the Master of Fine Art course at Glasgow School of Art. In this film she speaks to us about the education that inspired her to teach, the loss of her most significant works, and the power of artists.
