Discover the remarkable textile work of Sheena Norquay, whose richly detailed quilts bring together fabric, thread, painting and printmaking to explore landscape, nature and storytelling.
Inspired by the coastlines and landscapes of Orkney, as well as Norse mythology and the traditions of quilt-making, Sheena’s work is filled with colour, texture, pattern and intricate detail. From rolling seas and sweeping shorelines to shells, stones and hidden symbols, her quilts reward a closer look, revealing new details the longer you spend with them.
This exhibition brings together a carefully selected collection of Sheena’s work, offering visitors the opportunity to explore just a small part of an extraordinary career in textile art.
