This piece was inspired by a red grouse that rose suddenly from the heather as I drove across the moor, the light catching its wings in a flash of russet and gold. It was a moment of wild grace. Brief, bright, and unforgettable.

I wove it in lace-weight yarn and tussah silk to capture that sense of air and movement, the soft shimmer of feathers in flight. The cloth holds the quiet energy of that encounter. Light, layered, and alive with the colours of the moor.
