Statement of work.
My work is currently influenced, though not exclusively, by my interest in the human form through
life drawings and clothing the body.
I look for an interaction between paper and cloth using textile and fine art techniques. The fascinating
textural qualities produced by manipulating, layering, painting and stitching the fabric and paper are endlessly explored.
Drawing the human figure has always preoccupied me, the studies are worked into with a variety of mediums afterwards or I draw on top of different media. These don’t always work, but by thinking on paper ideas emerge subconsciously.
The final pieces using fragmented images take several guises, wall panels, clothing forms,
and creative book forms constructed by engineering the paper in a variety of ways.
