Walking Wheatfen
Woven textiles made in response to a series of walks at Wheatfen Nature Reserve on the Norfolk Broads. Designed with the life cycle of materials in mind the work uses only natural materials while the plant dyes were gathered from Wheatfen. Part of the Broads Authority’s ‘Woven Waters’ project (Water Mills and Marshes) exhibited at the Norwich Cathedral’s Hostry gallery in December 2019.
