This piece is inspired by the magical light of twilight, which paints the land with a magic hu - allowing you to see the faces in the landscape. It is a time of gathering and of telling stories. Many a tale was told bu this standing stone. To sit with your back against it at twilight is to sit in a thin place, and if your quiet enough perhaps you’ll hear an old one retell a tale or two.

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, drawing 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. Some stories come from the journey the great River Clyde takes, meandering down by islands and then out to the Irish Sea. These pieces 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.
