Textiles form the core of my practice, providing the vehicle by which I process and articulate ideas. Methods used include dyeing, imprinting, erasing and reworking, stitching, folding and unfolding. Whilst there is an emphasis on materiality and surface in the form the work takes, I engage with the historical, social and cultural associations of textiles, their significance in relation to touch, and the inter relationship of cloth and memory.
Works range from responses to museum collections, archives, historical and industrial sites, to those which express more personal experiences and memories of place. These works hold stories. They draw on oppositional forces in relation to material and technical treatments such as tension and release, whilst referencing states of flux. Recent work reflects on the ecological perils facing us.
'Edge' takes the idea of the separation yet interdependence between the material world and the world of perception as a continuing unfolding realm and relates it to the meeting points between land, sea and sky and ongoing environmental change.
