In 2020, I was awarded funding from VACMA to realise an artwork that grew out of my life on the island. The piece explores the connection between Fair Isle (the island) and Fair Isle (the knitting technique).

27 Shades of Shetland Blues

27 shades of Shetland Blues began with knitting just one strand of yarn and finished with 27 strands. The idea was to knit exponentially—building the depth of colour in relation to the increasing size of the needles and volume of yarn.
