ABOUT HEATHER

Heather McDermott specialises in contemporary jewellery. Having studied her BA(hons) and a 1 year MA at Edinburgh College of Art she moved home to the Isle of Skye to pursue her love of jewellery and establish her business. Now based in Glasgow she continues to take her inspiration from the ever-changing shoreline and landscape of the Isle of Skye.

The tideline of Skye is a treasure trove of unique objects discarded from the urban environment and deposited by the power of the Hebridean swell. Here rope, wood and plastic take on a subtler identity as wind and wave shape, and re-shape form and colour.

These inspirational scenes are developed and translated in to her work by utilising shapes and colours. Unconventional in size and structure, each piece is an expression of sculptural form and is designed to create a statement.
