Moy McKAY
(images are examples only and not necessarily available - new work in the gallery)
Moy Mackay graduated in 1990 from Glasgow School of Art with a BA (hons) degree in Design. Since then she has lived and worked in the Scottish Borders.
Moy’s work is created by replacing the medium of paint with dyed sheeps’ fleece. She uses finest quality merino tops from merino sheep, combining traditional felting techniques with embroidery. The results are strikingly rich in colour.
The nature of the medium requires a fine balance between spontaneity and control. This means the finished work always carries an element of surprise, an aspect of the work Moy particularly enjoys.
Using merino in this innovative and painterly way is a unique approach to the visual arts.
Moy exhibits widely throughout Scotland and beyond.
