Majestic mountains in the north of Sutherland, with drifting mist in the valley below, the forest & beautiful golden larches in the foreground.
Inspired by the view to the north from where I stay in Sutherland; we quite often get cloud inversions over the Kyle of Sutherland which seem other worldly, almost like you are living above the clouds. This piece is created using a stitched collage of my hand dyed and printed fabrics, methods include, batik, tie-dye, cyanotype, bleach printing and monoprinting.
I quite often use my dried botanicals which I pick from my garden to monoprint over the collage, the piece is then finished using freemotion and hand embroidery techniques, incorporating machine and hand dyed threads. This piece is hand stitched to a linen backing then mounted in a glazed, white wooden box frame.
