Personal exploration has lead me through the natural environments of my native land, The British Isles; from the misty horizons of the Jurassic Coastline, to the undulating mountains of the Scottish Highlands. Embracing the added element of romance the grey, the fog and the bleak can bring. The senses of these places and the atmospheres that have resonated with me, have been captured through expressive mark making, instinctive drawing techniques, hand print processes and embellishment. 

This project deconstructs the physical elements of these landscapes with each textile serving as a unique fragment of a bigger picture. These individual 'fragments' juxtapose in appearance and properties, however each component is significant in balancing and building towards an overall harmonious collection. This conveys the raw and imperfect qualities that build up the dramatic landscapes and atmospheres of the British Isles. A combination of Harris Tweed, silks, linens and wool bring both depth and heritage to the hand crafted textile collection.
