About

1. About

1.1 About

Borders Creations is a portfolio of paintings and other original work made in the Scottish Borders.

  • Exhibitions — the paintings, gathered into shows.
  • Artists — who makes the work.
  • Groups — the art clubs the artists show with.
  • Events — where the work can be seen in person.

Every painting here is an original. Nothing is sold through this website; if a work interests you, please write.

1.2 Colophon

This site is built by plinth, a static site engine written for it: Clojure and babashka in, plain HTML, CSS and one small script out.

  • No third-party code. No fonts, frameworks, scripts or trackers are fetched from anywhere else — a page here asks nothing of any other server.
  • Type is your own device's system stack; there is nothing to download.
  • Pictures are photographs of the originals, published at up to 2560 pixels across.
  • Maps are drawn from OpenStreetMap data — © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL.
  • Hosting is Cloudflare Pages.
  • Every publish is checked. The build records a checksum for each file it produces, and the live site is verified against that list, file by file.

2. Privacy

2.1 Privacy

This site collects nothing from you.

  • No cookies. None are set, of any kind — so there is nothing to consent to, and no consent banner.
  • No analytics, no trackers, no pixels, no embeds. No third-party service is loaded on any page, so no third party learns that you were here.
  • No accounts and no forms. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to submit.
  • Server records. The site is served by Cloudflare, which keeps its own request records — including IP addresses — as part of running the service. This site adds nothing to them and builds no statistics of its own.
  • Links out. Following a link — a venue, a map, another artist's site — takes you to someone else's site, under their rules, not this one's.
  • Printed QR codes. The codes on labels and cards run through link.broker, which counts the scan on its own server before sending you on. That count is a tally of scans; it happens off this website, and it is not tied to you.
  • Email. A message sent to the address on the Contact slide is kept as ordinary email, read by the people who run this site, and used only to answer you.

3. Terms

3.1 Terms

  • The work is Agnes Nimmo's. The paintings, and the photographs of them on this site, are her copyright. Please do not copy, print or reproduce them without asking first — asking is welcome.
  • Nothing is sold here. This site takes no orders and no payments. What is shown as available is a guide, not an offer; ask by email and we will tell you where a work actually is.
  • Dates and details — exhibition dates, opening times, venues, sizes — are given in good faith and can change. Check with the venue before travelling.
  • Other sites. Links to other sites are for convenience, not endorsement.
  • Law. This site is run from Scotland, under Scots law.
