A collection of woven baskets or ‘creels’ made during a residency at Cove Park residency programme, Scotland in September 2021, following an initial residency in June 2021 (see more here). Each residency followed a period of research into the local coastal landscape and architecture, including two Argyll coast lighthouses, where Jenny’s maternal family lived between the 1950-70’s.
Each piece uses local plant life, such as ferns, wheatgrass, flowers and seaweed, with yarns, ribbons and marine ropes. The ephemeral works are suggestive of baskets used to collect seaweed and shellfish from the shore, which Jenny’s grandmother collected at her various homes on the Argyll coast.
