.I focus upon the detail found in nature and science, often drawing upon my years of research in the pharmaceutical industry for inspiration. My design work is abstract in nature but recurring marks and motifs tend to develop from plant foliage and living organisms. I employ texture and colour with delicacy and sharpness of detail, conveying significant impressions and emotions to interact with my audience.
I generally base my work on wet felted wool, adding other fabrics and free machine embroidery
to create layered textural surfaces with focal interest.
The organic transformation by hand of wool fibre to felt is an important aspect of my work process as it connects me emotionally to the completed work, and thereby to my audience through self-expression.
