A FILM created by an art student affected by the blaze at the Glasgow School of Art has been donated to the Scottish Parliament's collection.

Lydia Levett's artwork, titled 'It's Ok to fail' was filmed at the the iconic St Peter’s Seminary, Argyll, and was inspired by the creation of the first geodesic dome.

It was selected from an exhibition of pieces by artists who received Phoenix bursaries from the Art School and the Scottish Government to help them rebuild their portfolios.

Ms Levett said: “It’s a huge privilege that my work is to be part of the Scottish Parliament Art Collection. I was amazed to learn that my video had been selected as the work which the GSA was to gift to the collection.”

“Without the Scottish Government the Phoenix Bursary programme would not have been possible,” says Professor Tom Inns, Director of The Glasgow School of Art.

“I am delighted to be able to present this artwork to the Scottish Parliament on behalf of the GSA in recognition of the all the support that the government has given to the institution and the artists over the last 18 months.”

The Parliament’s collection includes work by leading Scottish artists including Ian Hamilton Finlay, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, Christine Borland, Alison Watt, Callum Innes, John Bellany, and Thomas Joshua Cooper.

Presiding Officer Tricia Marwick MSP said: “This gift represents a significant addition to the Parliament’s art collection and a unique opportunity to celebrate the many positive outcomes achieved through the Phoenix Bursary Scheme.”
