A weaver with an attention to detail has won a residency at a Speyside distillery to develop artwork inspired by the surroundings.
Rhona Jack, from Edinburgh, impressed a judging panel by building her own weaving loom to win the three-month stay at Glenfiddich worth £10,000.
The 24-year-old made her own equipment by recycling unwanted roof beams and using them to weave fabric inspired by Dundee’s industrial architecture.
Now the artist wants to use her passion for showing the human element of manufacturing on Speyside.
She said: “In each piece of work I create, a great deal of time and energy is exerted in the physical making of the work.
“The idea for the loom came from a fascination with the development of textiles and the need to make something from scratch, which was entirely of my own creation.
“Through this work, I am attempting to humanise a whole industry, showing the individual work and creativity that goes into the textile trade.”
The Glenfiddich Artist in Residence programme was launched by the Dufftown distillery in 2002.
To date, more than 100 artists from across the world have been put up in a house and studio in the area with their work to be exhibited in the on-site gallery.
Programme coordinator Andy Fairgrieve said: “The bold geometry of Rhona’s architecturally inspired work quickly caught the eye of our panel.
“She is clearly an observer as well as a maker and I’m sure she will enjoy the transition from jute mill to copper still when she takes up her residency in the summer.”
