I'll be doing some bird studies over the next few days, starting with Sky. Enjoyed a brilliant 'painting with felt' workshop today. My picture will be on the website. Can't wait to do more.
My inspiration is heritage craft: I manipulate materials by scraping, scrubbing, twisting, weaving, beating, stitching, chipping, tearing and melting.
I use an archaeological approach to investigate the layers of history: First I excavate and deconstruct traditional craft materials, then recombine them in unexpected ways to symbolise and emphasise their significance. In the process, I'm reconstructing and redefining myself.
