2015                The Art of Bereavement   University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, Crafts Study Centre – with Symposium. Exhibition curated by Professor Lesley Millar MBE.  The work for this exhibition, like much of my work speaks of human fragility, grief and loss - real and symbolic. Here I am most concerned with exploring the fine veneer of cloth that stands between us and the world. What trace of our existence is left behind in the clothes we wear? And consequently, how is this perceived, translated and communicated once we are no longer there and all that is left is cloth? This work draws upon my collaboration with the Forensic Science Service and psychiatry to explore and translate ideas. Other artists include Rosanne Hawksley and Beverly Ayling Smith
