In 2024 I was commissioned by Connecting Threads, the cultural strand of Destination Tweed to be the Berwick Bridge 400 artist in residence.

40 handmade watercolour paints made from the same sandstone used to repair Berwick Bridge.

Each paint is named after one of the workers employed for the construction of the bridge in 1624.

The paints are made from local sandstone, honey and gum arabic and presented in limpet shells found on Berick Beach. Each one is nestled in wool and presented in a paper box.

In 2025, Connecting Threads plan to invite people to collaborate with me on a final project to mark the culmination of the residency. Sign up to their newsletter to stay informed.
