Artmarks 30 Day Summer Challenge 2017 - Day 24

Hello Everyone!

As we go into the final week of Rae Missigman's Artmarks Challenge, here is my page for today.

Day 24 - Remnants


When we were holidaying on The Orkneys earlier this year, we visited The Hoxa Tapestry Gallery on South Ronaldsay. Tapestry artist Leila Thomson incorporates poetry into her beautiful tapestries, and the quote on my page is from one of them, a stunning piece featuring a solitary person standing on a beach...

"echoes"

in this space we stand
our future an unknown and ever changing land
our past like a shadow across the sand
all you've been and all you've done
the children and all that they will become

Leila Thomson

You can visit the gallery website HERE, if you'd like to see Leila's beautiful tapestries.


Thanks for dropping by,

  1. Oh my, the poem is so beautiful and is a delight! I can see why you were inspired by these words and the tapestry of remnants you created is stunning 😁. There is so much to look at and admire! Thanks for including the link to The Hoxa Tapestry Gallery, the echoes piece is stunning and wow, seeing the weave of the tapestry up close must have been amazing 😁. Thank you for sharing your wonderful artwork, poem and Gallery at Art Journal Journey and wishing you a happy new week! J 😊
