Batlle of Seasons

Category: Interior

This project was inspired by a Scottish folktale, The Battle of Seasons. The collection builds on the constant battle between Spring and Winter, Summer and Autumn, juxtaposing emotions, while translating Scotland's rugged landscape into texture. According to the legend, Loch Awe was formed due to the negligence of Queen Beira, who failed to guard a sacred spring—eventually giving rise to the lake. I used Loch Awe and Ben Cruachan as visual inspiration for my project to keep my narrative rooted in place and myth. This site today is home to a major power plant through the Drax Project. The Drax Group is a UK-based renewable energy company engaged in renewable power generation. I see this as a powerful layer within the story I'm telling: a place that held such significance in the past, holds the key to our sustainable future. I worked with a given palette to create new shades, by using at least two to four different yarns next to each other. This technique elevates the texture and overall outlook of the samples. My final collection consists of intricate patterns, playful colour combinations that translate the essence of the seasons, as well as my personal take on a manipulated satinette The lambswool used to create this collection was a generous donation from Knoll Yarns.
