Méabh is a textile artist who lives in deepest, rural France creating small scale, finely woven tapestries using cotton threads.

Walking the tracks and fields around her home, the ever changing landscape is noted and enjoyed. The dayglo lichen and moss on branches and stones, a small clump of wild narcissi, honeysuckle flowering in the woods, all accompanied by a changing sonic landscape, the small field birds being joined by cuckoos, nightingales, hoopoes and golden orioles.

Méabh is conscious of following in the footsteps of those who have gone before. Pacing, tracing and mapping this small, intimately known patch of the earth.

There are parallels with the technique of tapestry, the repetition, the rhythm, the slow patient progress. It anchors, slows time, concentrates.

Her tapestries are landscapes.

'I always start with a line drawing and develop it as a collage, adding and taking away colour until my heart beats a little quicker. Then I commit to the process of weaving together with my indispensable companion, Radio 4.'
