Through the Trees captures the elusive beauty of the Jay bird - those brief moments when a flash of blue catches the eye between leaves and branches before disappearing again.

​

Repurposed linen and cotton have been patchworked into vertical strips, creating a rhythm of colour and movement against a quiet, neutral linen background. The shifting blues and subtle tones reflect the distinctive colours of the jay's wings, suggesting rather than depicting the bird itself.

​

Hand stitched and made entirely from reclaimed textiles, the piece is an abstract interpretation of those fleeting encounters with birds along the Taff Trail, glimpsed for a moment, then lost amongst the trees.
