A national lockdown in the United Kingdom began on 23rd March 2020. Through the process of weaving, I found an escape and release from the uncertainties.
It was during these initial months that I was inspired to create the Pause collection.

Subconsciously, I routinely transported myself to the long summer days, infinite beaches and vast landscape of Oban in Scotland. This Northern harbour town holds host to an eclectic array of memories, having been my summer destination for the past 14 years. The misty hues of blue peering through the lingering morning mist contrasted in my mind with the intense brilliance of the late evening sunsets over the expansive waters. I have tried to convey this depth of colour and intimacy with the environment within the collection. Ultimately, it was through the creation of these items that I have never felt freer, or more at peace.

The Harbour cushion is part of the 'Pause' collection. The geometric design of the cloth is based upon the daily rhythm of the Ardmuncknish Bay. From sunrise to sunset, the passage of boats can be tracked across the ever-changing colours of the landscape. Made by hand in the studio, this cushion is woven using various textured yarns saved from landfill and interwoven in a charcoal cashmere cushion face.
