Shoreline Cushion
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 Shoreline cushion is part of the 'Pause' collection. The tactile nature of the weave represents the swash of water as it engulfs and moulds the sand. The linear design is representative of the rhythmic stride of each wave. Made by hand in the studio, this bold and striking cushion design is woven using linen & cotton and interwoven into a charcoal cashmere cushion face.
