Toolbox Fisher Shaman by Will Maclean (b. 1941) presents an upright, foldable box, that contains a mixture of found materials and a clay piece with the impression of a fish. Some of the small elements reflect the title, with ritualistic qualities of fishing implements and the presence of fibres. 

Maclean holds a strong interest in portraying the traditions and history of Scottish fishermen, seen here with small, ritual pieces in a box with a fish impression on the left side. The natural, found elements further this connection between Scottish fishermen and nature that Maclean likes to highlight in much of his work. 

Will Maclean MBE RSA, born 1941

Maclean, born in Inverness, trained at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen from 1965 to 1965, spending the summer of 1964 at Hospitalfield in Arbroath, Angus. A travelling scholarship enabled him to visit France, Italy and Greece in 1966-67. He studied for three months at the British School in Rome, where he developed an interest in archaeology that is reflected in his art. After teacher-training in Dundee he taught at schools in Fife. In 1981 he joined the teaching staff of Duncan Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee.
Maclean's art is rooted in his knowledge of the Highlands, the area's people and their history. Through his sculptures and constructions, using driftwood, found objects and carved items, he continues to record the history and traditions of Scottish fishermen and the sea.
