TROSSACHS NARRATIVES
TROSSACHS NARRATIVES
Trossachs Textiles
The Trossachs Collection is a personal exploration into the notion of home. Home involves an interaction between nature, community and warm human contact. To achieve this, the Trossachs Collection creates a conversation between Scotland's traditional past, and the landscape's contemporary present. Through an exploration and personal connection to her home environment, Orla aims to translate the environmental experience into textile designs. With a focus on colour, texture and tactility, this collection encourages similar experiences of emotions and connections for the user. Inspired by local folklore, history, music and landscape of the Trossachs National Park, these influences intertwine and result in this collection of printed and embroidered double sided blankets.
Trossachs blankets represent metaphorical nomadic homes: Encasing the user in their very own transportable textile home, which may be taken anywhere. When wrapped in a Trossachs blanket, you are immersed in your own sense of place, of home, wherever you may go.
The Joy of Noticing
The Joy of Noticing is a celebration of everyday moments and memories, exploring the wild landscapes of Scotland, Ireland, the colour and energy of Edinburgh, and the quiet joys that can be found right on our doorstep. Each painting has been made through a process of slowing down, paying attention, and finding wonder in the small details all around us, wherever we happen to be.
This body of work blends key memories with on-location observation to capture a sense of place. At its heart, this exhibition is a return to that child-like sense of wonder that surfaces when we stop to look closely at nature and the world around us.
The work moves between perspectives, studying nature up-close where unexpected colours and textures are revealed, to the sweeping vistas that evoke a sense of awe. By weaving these together, the paintings invite you to rediscover a sense of playfulness and joy in noticing the world both familiar and new with fresh eyes.
