statement:
|
I originally trained as a Graphic Designer and have taught Art and Design for 25 years. I continue to develop my visual arts skills through a variety of media and techniques with an emphasis on textile based art.
My work is inspired by organic forms in the natural world with an emphasis on coastal and landscape areas. I am particularly inspired by the natural flow of water and the constantly changing light and its impact on the landscape. Each piece is individually made using pure wools which are traditionally hand felted and embellished through a variety of stitching, both hand and machined. Silk and flax are also blended with the wool and beading is used to further enhance the tactile qualities of the work. |
