About Me
Claire Kettley, Scottish and proud of it. I belong to the Scottish nation in a way that’s different from the normal clichés. Without denying the folkloric aspects linked to beer, whisky, bagpipes and haunted castles, I find my Scottish identity through more traditional and introspective aspects. Scotland is a land rich in signs and symbols, and I try my best to draw inspiration from this, so that it really is a part of me.
Interests
- Everything and nothing.
- I don’t really see material things as very important.
- Every day I take on a new task
- and I go on pure instinct.
- I’m interested in what comes to me
- at any given time
- If nothing comes along
- for a while I have been passionate about a flower
- a peony for which I am its fragile evolution
- If not
- then only the most banal stuff :
- I like to read
- listen to music
- make cakes to have with the tea
- I love working outdoors with little gardening jobs
- in the open air
- I like to be in touch with the earth
- with the elements
- I like that « other thing » as well.
Favorite Music
