Artist Statement
I am continually fascinated by the natural world; our connection to it and our place within it. I am particularly drawn to birds and (along with their feathers) I often use them as symbols within my work to explore these connections and the human desire to transcend, to move beyond what we know.
I work across a range of media and techniques including various print making processes, hand and free motion embroidery, appliqué and natural dyeing. Tactile engagement with materials is an important element of my practice and everything starts with observation and drawing.
Alongside my personal practice I have a strong participatory practice; working on a range of projects in a variety of settings including education, galleries and museums and community centres.
