Fine art Project

We had a year long project in which we had to select a house from a specific Architect and design a textile artifact for the house. I selected a house in North Uist called Clachan Lodge which it situated to the North of the island over looking Clachan Sands.

I was specially drawn to this house because of the nice rafter details over the main living area of the house. So I designed a wall hanging to fit in the rafter space which took inspiration from satellite imaging and imposed the layout of the Outer Hebrides islands onto the hanging.

Work in process, this wasn't how i pictured it but am much happier with the way this is going!!
Machine stitching the white squares took for ever, I even took a break for a cuppa when I was half way through!!!
