My tapestry works are slow, tactile meditations on landscape, memory, and the quiet inner worlds that exist beneath the visible surface.
Woven on the loom and built through dense layers of embroidery, my tapestries combine traditional textile techniques with an intuitive, painterly approach. I work with natural fibres and handspun yarns, allowing texture, irregularity, and accumulated mark-making to guide each piece. Many works centre on a highly detailed core: faces, forms, or symbolic fragments — surrounded by more abstract woven fields that suggest atmosphere, energy, and emotional terrain rather than literal place. Rooted in the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands and shaped by themes of transformation, resilience, and attention, these pieces invite close looking and slow engagement, revealing themselves gradually through surface, depth, and touch.
Through weaving and embroidery, the work explores how material, memory, and place intertwine.
