Earthworks

Much of the dyeing sampling that I have been doing over the past few months has been in preparation for ' Earthworks ', a collaborative work of the Mesh Collective, which we are showing at Patriothall Gallery in Edinburgh in April 2015. Following the Fertile Ground Conference Geological walk at Whitesands in Dunbar I am very inspired by some rock formations I photographed there. I am going to try to capture some of these hues, textures and patterns in my Pojagi piece for this exhibition.
