Art
Working with my own two hands, a minimal colour palette and my fabric collection as my paint box, I create quiet abstracts with textiles. Currently, I make assemblages using beautiful natural materials such as linen, hemp and silk, manipulating but also relinquishing control to the warp and weft.
My work is generally improvised using materials I have to hand, although my quilts are meticulously designed and calculated - a process of many parts. I am drawn to "traditionally female" methods of creation, favouring texture and a simple modern aesthetic, rooted in traditional techniques. Everything I make is one of a kind with every stitch sewn by me and I believe that every hour spent on a piece shows in the finished article.
Space
When not in the studio, I work as a consultant Project Manager with companies to help them distil and implement their vision for their internal spaces. This can range from design to site management. A small selection of this work can be found on the Space page.
Thanks for visiting my site, please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to discuss collaborations, commissions, exhibiting or stocking my work...
