Artist Statement

As an artist I investigate ways of combining embroidery with other creative disciplines such as drawing, painting and printmaking.

Within my artworks I mainly use natural diaphanous fabrics. These form the basis of a layering process, an essential part of the construct, much like the layering of conversations and stories over time. The stitched writings are often my own thoughts, combined with my interpretations of the world. My secrets that I keep to myself and only divulge through the sewing machine and needle. I am captivated by calligraphy, and asemic writing. I love the fluid nature of the written characters and how they appear to dance and flow, morphing into abstract landscapes, something I endeavour to capture within my embroidery.
