Meet the Maker - Lynette Domoney

 

Lynette Domoney's piece for the 'Unfolding' exhibition is titled Diaspora; or nostalgia for the hardly-known

Lynette says "A light hearted look at my relationship with Scotland and especially in honour of my grandfather James Waugh Hay, son of a miner, and born near Falkirk in 1874.

He studied medicine at Glasgow University before practicing in Cornwall, New Zealand and the Isle of Ely before his early death in 1924. I hope he would have been amused. 

Lynette has used stitched imagery of motifs with links to Scotland and her grandfather.
