A contemporary interpretation of British folk art, this hand-painted weather vane by Ramsay Gillies features a stylised female figure cut from sheet metal. Rich in character and movement, the silhouette is both sculptural and narrative—recalling traditional signwork, storytelling weathervanes, and fairground forms.
Gillies' practice draws from vernacular craft, blending whimsical motifs with a restrained, graphic sensibility. Though contemporary in execution, this piece feels rooted in rural heritage and the hand-made. A quietly expressive object designed to animate rooftops, gardens, or indoor spaces with a sense of folklore and movement.
