Astronomy
‘Mapping Pins’ - An arbitrary, abstract arrangement of colourful mapping pins on a wall, or a study of Molecular systems?
Maps
A sewing machine is used as a drawing tool to impregnate the surface of old fabric backed ordnance survey maps, to trace over road routes and rivers in the map.
Grid and Stitched
Materiality and making blend together in this example of the remade map, drawing reference from and simulating sequined cloth.
Cut and Paste works
In ‘The World and I’, a diagram from a reference book on world geography (depicting waves of air pressure), is pasted onto the neck of the figure in this anatomical diagram (depicting the human circulatory system), which clearly hints at the side profile of a head.
Anatomy
The idea of repairing or rebuilding the body is referenced in the use of stitch along linear paths evident in medical illustrations, which at the same time, makes the image seem more tangible and alive.
Text works Series 1 Beauty Spots Series, collaged work
Imagery and text blend together to create delicate interlaced collages.
Text Works Series 2 Title for an Embroidered text
Embroidery is traditionally perceived as ‘Woman’s work’ and this work takes reference from formal qualities of historical examples of work.
Stitched and Constructed textile paintings
On closer inspection, the painterly appearance of the work transposes itself into an appliquéd textile work.
Paper Screens
Designs for Window screens, Room Dividers and Wall Mounted Light Boxes. Made to Order. Price on application.
Objects, envelope works, and corsages
This is a range of limited edition works in on going production.
