Louise McArthur is a flax-led material artist whose practice explores the relationship between fibre, ecology and time. Working with flax, natural dye and slow material processes, she creates sculptural textile artefacts shaped by landscape systems and ecological conditions.

Rooted in material behaviour and tactile process, her work develops through growing, dyeing, stitching and sustained engagement with surface and fibre. Rather than representing landscape directly, McArthur allows place, seasonality and material transformation to shape the work itself.

Her practice is guided by five operational conditions: slow, material-led, temporal, situated and chromatic. Through these approaches, she develops artefacts and material studies that explore cultural relationships with land, care and ecological attention.

In 2026, McArthur received the LVMH Maison/0 Green Trail Award for her graduating collection from Central Saint Martins.
