Jennifer Woolnough, Hertfordshire: "I am a textile artist currently drawing inspiration from the movement of water, attempting to capture fleeting images in the form of abstract shapes from the ebb and flow and light upon the surface."

Artist of the week: Clare Coyle

I am forever inspired by the landscape and the history of land use within Scotland. This has developed from my interest in archaeology, prehistoric dwellings and the everyday lives and artefacts of our ancestors. I am interested in the marks that man has made on the landscape, marks and patterns on everyday things such as pottery, stone and metal. The passage of time and weathering, changes to land use and how the ever-changing climate over millennia has impacted on the topography of the landscape.
