this series of work is inspired by life experience and nature … they are a visual response to our own and the earth’s interdependance and fragility, and my faith as it intertwines with that
upcycled and new fabrics, paper, cardboard and foam core were rusted in a series of solutions; i also used shellac to seal the rusted surfaces of all but the fabrics
pva glues and pins were used when assembling the 3D items; some plant-dyed or rusted fabrics, found objects and stitch were added
others are made predominantly from textile, using plant-dyed and/or rusted fabrics, stitch (including crochet) and embellishments)
for sale – some of the above items are available to purchase here
I am a weaver in BC, Canada. I saw your piece in the summer Quilting Arts
Magazine. Very inspiring! Visual poetry.

Brilliant textural / sculptural sensibility, very cool work – my faves are: the fence piece, the nail piece and the horizontal book cover. You have ‘the touch’ – fantastic…
