KNITTED ACCESSORIES
This piece incorporates sentimental text taken from a letter written by my Dad to my Grandpa — words connected to a story understood only within my family. Incorporating this private language into my work allowed me to reflect on memory, connection, and the quiet significance carried through written words. The text has been translated into Ogham, an ancient script first found in Ireland and later across Scotland. Often referred to as the “tree language,” Ogham associates each letter with a different tree and is traditionally read from bottom to top. Wood and craftsmanship were central to my Dad’s practice as a cabinet maker and artist, who also chose to incorporate words within his own work. The scarf’s soft, undulating shaping draws inspiration from the flowing forms of heather across the Scottish landscape.
A blend of my family tartans - Forbes, Grant and Meldrum. Incorporating a wave inspired by the flowing forms of heather. In the style of a blanket scarf, this piece can be worn on the body as a scarf or a wrap, or even wrapped around you as a piece of clothing. This piece is knitted as a ‘birdseye’ jacquard, so the colours are blended together on reverse side.
Inspired by the subtle forms of heather flowers, this Fair Isle snood explores pattern through a soft and natural palette. Undyed fleece is paired with delicate botanically dyed blues and greens, echoing the muted beauty of the Scottish landscape.
Drawing on the sharp, untamed bursts of teasels, these wrist warmers explore natural form through knit.
Presented in two colour ways — deep earthy brown and soft pale cream — they are crafted from thick Scottish wool, designed to offer warmth through shifting weather and cold Scottish air.
