Rhona Millar is a recent Textile Design (Embroidery) graduate from Glasgow School of Art. She is inspired by details in nature, architecture and stately home decorative plasterwork.
Translating details into 3D relief drawings allows her to work through the creative process, before transforming ideas into exquisite hand embroidered textile artworks.
The inspiration behind Rhona’s textile artwork ‘Fragile Details’ came from visiting Scottish stately homes and gardens such as Pollock House, Newhailes House and Mount Stuart House. Inspired by the historical interiors, elaborate plasterwork, tiled flooring, and formal gardens, she sought to reimagine these intricate details in new transformative ways.
Aiming to capture these elements in her final piece as if they are hanging, gives thoughts to the fall, decline of traditional craftsmanship of the historical era, to the optimism through the white colour palette to the craftsmanship of the future.
