wall hangings and framed textile art inspired by the sea shores, countryside and wildlife of The Machars, S.W .Scotland.
The wall hangings created by The Mochrum Artist are constructed from a variety of materials including recycled kilts.
Inspiration is taken from the timeless beauty of the countryside in South West Scotland and in particular the area known as the Machars. Its natural unspoilt beauty is home to Red Squirrel, deer, badger, otter and many other rare beauties.
The seascape collection uses mainly organza, silks, glass beadwork and shell. The main body of the hanging is actually knitted and then embellished. These hangings reflect the movement of the tides and have a translucent quality that changes with the light. All of the Seascape collection is hung from driftwood collected from the shores of Galloway.
The Galloway Landscape collection is constructed from a more robust material, some organza but also using mohair and wool. Again, all are embellished with beadwork and are hung from wood collected from the woods of Galloway.
The Mochrum Artist is also available for commissions. Recently completed work for private clients includes a wall hanging mage from a wedding dress and one made from a baby’s first blanket.
