With a contemporary twist on an age-old process, Lucy MacDonald blends ancient tapestry techniques with contemporary woven design. Sustainability, traceability and identity are key themes within her Seasons of the Sea series. By using a blend of locally foraged plants and an organic indigo vat to dye yarn, she creates a unique colour palette inspired by seas and storms. Using raw Ryeland wool fleece sourced within walking distance of her studio, she experiments with a variety of material properties and demonstrates the adaptations of an ancient, natural and renewable fibre. A focus on heritage making processes, including hand-carding and spinning raw fibre into usable yarns, allows her to create texture and depth, illustrating wild Scottish coastlines, creating an image within an image.
