About MeA dramatic piece, woven whilst Sara Brennan lived in Lumsden, near Aberdeen. The rapidly changing cloud formations of the expansive sky are translated here against a glowering grey background woven in expressive fine detail.

She uses different whites to change the planes, and is interested in the horizon which moves when she works and can change with weather.
