Three Sisters. Art Quilt by Dorothy Russell

Three Sisters

Part of a series to be shown at Oriel Ynys Mon April to June 2015

As a child, on holidays in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, I gazed across the valley at three dominant trees, grouped together as though in conversation: they were known as the Three Sisters. The memory has directly influenced this hanging and may also explain my frequent return to the subject of trees in my work.

Part of a series first shown at Oriel Ynys Mon, Anglesey, April to June 2015

Informed during my childhood on the North East coast and now the West coast where I live and sail, the inspiration for the ‘Waves’ series of hangings came from the tumbling, rolling and constantly reshaping moods of the sea; sometimes gentle, twinkling in sunlight, sometimes tumultuous and threatening.
