“I enjoy experimenting with colour and texture, and textiles are
an ideal medium for this. I find a real challenge in combining different
media, such as the contrast of hard cold metal with soft threads and fabric.”
“I take inspiration from both geometric forms with their inherent
symmetry, and also from the more irregular shapes of the environment (both
natural and man-made) around us.”
Recent work has continued themes
in exploring industrial landscapes (see ”Container Port”)
and a piece inspired by the sinking of the wood carrying boat MV Ice Prince
in January 2008 – an event which left many beaches on the south
coast covered with mountains of timber (see “Left on the Beach”).
I am currently also exploring the theme of tranquility (see “Reflections”)
