A Barn Owl hunting by moonlight swoops down beyond the undergrowth with golden bracken, skeleton seed heads and ferns; the moonlight shines on the water with dark distant hills beyond. Inspired by the landscape, dark skies, big moons & Barn Owls from where I stay in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. This piece is created by way of a cyanotype print (a sun print) onto fabric using my original artwork and dried botanicals to create the negative stencil. I have monoprinted using botanicals and fabric inks over the surface and then embroidered over the top using freemotion and hand embroidery techniques, incorporating machine and hand dyed threads. The final piece is hand stitched to mount board and framed using a double mount & glazed with a white wood frame.
