My practice aims to utilise the intrinsic qualities of materials to evoke association and carry the essence of ideas. I have adopted an intuitive approach responding to materials and entering into an open dialogue with them as the work develops.I am interested in recycling and the transformation of found materials coupled with hand made paper, textiles ,stitch ; etc to make artefacts and assemblages of disparate components allowing a heterogeneity of media to explain the idea.

I consider remmnants and traces of materials , sometimes relating to Nature that seem significant and which for me contain layers of meaning.My most recent installation concerned with the degradation of our oceans has been a series of artefacts representing the remains of lost sealife presented as a reliquiae.

 

 

Environmental decline and degradation are facing our oceans

Climate change and plastic pollution are already threatening our marine life.Artists need to contribute to the growing body of environmentally conscious artworks that carry a responsible message.

 

The artefacts I have made to convey this message are all constructed from found debris washed up on the shore, pressed porcelain pieces and cast, recycled paper
