make a rope a day....100 ropes / 50 plants
NEW - exhibited NOW for 2012 they will be at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in Sleat on the Isle of Skye from Sat 4th Feb to Mon 16th April
These ropes are an exploration of plants, of place, and of my personal responses to these through the making of them.
100 ropes/ 50 plants was exhibited in Inverness museum and art gallery in July/ August 2011 and at the SNH headquarters Great Glen house Inverness Sept/Oct 2011.

Rope note 04
I came across this in a folk museum in the North of Spain, not sure of its
exact use, it is made from willow with fairly thick stems about 1/2" across
