Collection #2

My collaged constructions are part of the new exhibition by the 62 Group of Textile Artists. The theme ‘Making as Learning’ is dedicated to Audrey Walker, artist and educator who was Head of Textiles at Goldsmiths, University of London. She was an honorary exhibiting member and past Chair of the 62 Group. 

The constructions evolved by working directly with recycled materials: scraps left over from previous artworks, rusty found objects, twisted windblown wisteria branches, scrim dipped in porcelain slip and other bits and pieces from my studio.

They are experimental, relying on hands-on learning experience and problem solving. Many iterations were tried; juxtaposing and rearranging the materials until ideas felt resolved.
