What the artist says:

Living and working in the Northern Pennines I am acutely aware of the passing seasons, of the changes of light, of the eroded rounded shapes of the landscape, and of the wide palette of colours and textures of the mountains, moors and the fells. The curved line so redolent of movement and the passing of time is characteristic in all my weaving. With multiple horizons stretching onwards and the interlocking shapes I found a way of expressing my feelings for my home, The North. The movement from the light of day to the darkness of night has featured heavily in my thoughts. As the Sun sinks slowly below the horizon the emerging Moon rises and reclaims the night sky.
