Patricia's knitted (and felted) body adornment was developed after working with renowned fibre artist Jeanette Sendler in Edinburgh, Newburgh (www.sendler.co.uk) and knitwear designer Barbara Ridland on Shetland (www.troak.co.uk). Much of this work is inspired by ripped baling wrap or silage sheeting, which, due to the ever prevailing strong wind, can be found blowing horizontally off stock fences in Caithness and is called 'Caithness Prayer Flags' by locals. All items, which Owen is modelling here, are made in pure new wool and are normally made to order. All pictures were taken on Caithness beaches near Latheron and Lybster. |
