I make two dimensional patchworks from fabric and paper printed using natural forms incorporating the shape of shadows.

My Practice
My work reflects the cyclical passage of time and visual seasonal change through pattern, texture and colour.
Tools & Materials
I think of my studio as a small sanctuary that I can go to make work, undisturbed by little hands and everything as I left it. I work with a geli plate to print onto fabric and my sewing machine and embroidery threads to add detail to the printed fabrics. Fabrics are mainly from unwanted clothes and curtains and I have recently organised them which feels great. I use different papers like maps, pages from old books and hand made papers to combine with the fabrics into patchworks and artists books. I have small collections of objects as well as images and books from other inspirational artists.
