I initially start with the question of how much I can ‘work’ a surface. All the works display a multiplicity of marks (scratching, piercing or drawing) which result in surfaces resonant with the prolonged activity of their own deconstruction. I stop working on the paper when it achieves a state of fragility whereby its coherent form would be...

Artist statement We all collect tokens, objects and memories as we travel through our lives. The sad thing about this is that more often than not our memories and tokens lay dormant, gathering dust, shut away in boxes, cleared into storage as new collections replace them. We are all formulated by these elements which we add to our lives as...

My work explores textiles as text, as site of family history and as colouring identity. Commonplace phrases and proverbs are key as is the Buddhist concept of the void. The dialogue between something and nothing informs the materiality of the things I make; loose ends offer balance between the two. Eva Hesse showed me how to move away from the...
