The work is about the material and sensual world, places (both specific and archetypes), colour and language. The relationship between landscape and human, domestic life is a major theme. Practice encompasses works on paper, writing, boxed objects, installation, books.Materials used include paper (sugar paper, newsprint, Manila etc.), plant material, silk, thread, wool, pearls, paint: they are typically fragile, often transparent, not waterproof, change when exposed to light, a broadly anti monumental stance.Projects in development are '[Pomegranate] fig, herb, spice '(paintings) and 'square garden, crescent garden' (writing).
