ARTIST STATEMENT
I like to touch and hold fabric, feeling its weight, texture and structure, noticing how it sits, folds and twists in my hands; I find beauty in that alone. I enjoy exploring how I can shape it, carefully scrunching, knotting, pleating, folding and stitching, to create pleasing volumes which can be connected in groupings, stacks or networks. My process is slow and exploratory, sharing similarities with the traditions of origami, patchwork and quilting. Each new piece evolves with little pre-conceived vision of how things will develop. Bold colour, surface design, stitch and embroidery create further dimension which is enhanced by light and shadow on the raised and folded surfaces. |
