Curriculum Vitae
My chosen media is predominantly textile: the potential of fabric to fold and conceal, as well as cover and protect is one that everyone knows and understands, and in my work I hope it provides a base that holds my ideas, capturing them in the fibres, and revelling in colour and texture. Most of my work is based on observation reconsidered through the processes of drawing and photography. The calm and spirit of a place – whether it is on land or on the edge of the sea has impacted on my ideas; many of which are clearly filtered by my experiences and the context of art practices which I am continually researching and exploring.
