<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"> It has been wonderful to be involved in another show at the Verdant Mills, this time with <b><i>edge textile artists scotland.</i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">The Jute Mill, Verdant Works, at <st1:place w:st="on">Dundee</st1:place> provides a gold mine of textile inspiration and
information, not least from the fact that the Golden Fibre, jute, was the
reason for its establishment. The large archive and images available cover and
bring us a sense of a time now gone. A photographic image that captured this most for me provided inspiration<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">The simple stance and directness of gaze of
the workers within the weaving shed immediately draws one into imagining their working
day; the strong metal structures contrast against the human stance holding the
eye and drawing one into the scene. A song by June Tabor and Maddy Prior, <i>Four Loom Weaver </i>came to mind but while
it captured a certain aspect it was not the right song for this project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Further research and <b><i>The Jute Mill Song</i> by Mary Brooksbank
</b>sprung to my attention. The words
have a power and simplicity which immediately captured a sense in the picture….
Mary gives us a glimpse of not only the conditions in the factory but the wages
that were worked for. It led me to find
out more and speak to the owner of copyright for the words. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"> My
original thoughts were of a piece where layers slowly revealed the characters but
the directness of the lyrics made me explore the idea of sound waves and light
waves. This set the journey for my finished piece; simple use of the powerful
lyrics and the reverberating lines of the workers<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">My thanks and by kind permission of Peter
Shepheard I use the words of <b><i>The Jute Mill Song. </i></b>He also kindly
gave me access to Mary singing the song providing me with a sound backdrop while
I did my work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

As the title indicates a flavour of the work of <i style="font-weight: bold;">edge </i>members over past years allowed an interesting starting point from which to view their current work and plans for some fascinating future themes. An added bonus was to see the work of invited students and graduates from textile courses across Scotland.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A favourite poet of mine is Robert Frost.

The first three works had added inspiration of incorporating images and objects collected while walking with others in Glenbuchat.</span><br />

Since childhood my walks had resulted in a collection of small finds that were placed on an impromptu 'nature table'. Inevitably these turned to dust and were lost. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">The Ordnance

have been an integral part of family outings by car or on foot.</span><br />

</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Living in a remote part of Aberdeenshire a high proportion of my few
neighbours work in oil related industries. This coupled with enjoyment of outdoor
activities set geology as a cornerstone for creative and physical exploration. A
part time course in Scottish Studies at Aberdeen University added to an awareness
of the geological intrigues of what lies beneath… our feet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Taking
three favourite walks as a starting point, the hills of Morven, Clachnaben and Bennachie
provide the inspiration. Initial use of
long and short hand stitch to replicate not only my foot pace but the colours found
on geological maps I progressed to freestyle machine embroidery. This in turn developed into an exploration of
3D bowls and shapes. </span></div>
