Misty Portal. Weaving Loch Lomond
Misty Portal. Weaving Loch Lomond
The mist weaves around three white stones, creating a circle, a portal - inviting you to step through.
These three stones are inspired by a stone circle while the original story may have no longer survived, threads of the story speak of a place to bring questions and petitions – a place to stay overnight and speak to the old ones.
Weaving Loch Lomond
These circular pieces weave in threads of the colours of the land, essence of place and folklore. I cast a large circle around Loch Lomond and draw in the inspiration of the surrounding land. Some places may no longer exist but reside in ancestral memory.
Each piece is inspired by a walk in the hills, the sight of a hawk, deer or heron. They hold the magic of the thin places and the seasons, and are a blessing of hill and loch, glen and corrie, mountain, bog and crag.
