There is something about the texture of the rocky sea shore that fascinates me. The different tones, the contrasts between slick and rough surfaces, the stripes of seaweed and wet stones at the waterline: all are a constant source of inspiration. With this shawl, I wanted to see if I could capture those elements in wearable form, to keep that little bit of sea with me always.
