In Memory of Music, Editorial Illustration

Imagery: Family Archive

As a child family holidays were often spent in Ullapool, Scotland. Each week there would be folk sessions in the local pubs. As I was young, my memories of this time are fragmented however the memories and music from the sessions have always brought me comfort. In this project I explore the memories I have of these music sessions using the medium of cyanotype and embroidery. In Memory of Music is a collection of embroidered cyanotype fabric pieces which focus on musical elements from my own family image archive of Scottish folk sessions I attended as a child. These outcomes were used to create two variations of editorial spreads, one with a focus on the craft and one on ‘Small Town Folk Sessions’.
