2024
This year I am exploring several different areas:
Wall Flower collection - As an accolade to my mum, who was a passionate flower arranger, I find myself drawn to colours and floral inspirations. Coupling the wire and wax work with found perspex I’m creating a 'wall garden’ full of beautiful feminine flowers.
The Lines series - Making my customary wire work leaves me covered in oil and getting sore hands from the hefty work. With a box full of found ribbons I got drawn to playing last thing at night.. So lovely to lay out the calm lines and mix the colours - something I had not tried before - do you like the results?
HouseWork collection - Looking at women’s work and equality from another lens.
Mental series - The insidious nature of teen mental health that seems to be pervading our children is causing stressors all round. With personal experience I am attempting to express this difficult area through difficult materials.
The first commission of this year - 'Gently Unravelling’ revisits my 2020 larger wire works and speaks for teen mental health.
