Most of my art touches on childhood, on growing up and its anxieties. It is as much an exploration of memory as of physical experience. Not necessarily concrete memories, more moods and atmospheres, interwoven with elements from myths and fairy tales. Using some of the techniques traditionally linked to a girl's world I work with papers, wools...

I make specific installations of varieties of objects. The work operates somewhere between installation and sculpture.  I re-use items found or bought from charity shops and carboot sales, second hand detritus no longer useful to previous owners. The different types of object establish their differences and similarities; relationships made...

My work practice is an investigation into the possibilities of colour as a language. I use touch, geometry, and systems combined with the totally random, to arrive at an essentially expressive, romantic language. Drawing and measurement try to make an irrational world rational, and by so doing, tame it. Colour eludes measurement and the rational,...

I am interested in the primacy of structure or agency in human behaviour, I look at systems and structures that control us and make drawings to represent this. In capitalist societies the individual is regarded as a self-conscious responsible agent, whose actions can be explained by his or her beliefs and thoughts. This is acquired within the...

SYSTEM OBSERVATION I am interested in the idea of systems thinking and Monet's observations of haystacks - the change of light falling on them hour by hour. I use a 16mm cine camera to photograph at fixed intervals the changing aspect of a systemic event. The individual film frames which result from such an observation are scanned and sequenced...

The textile pieces started years ago as an outlet for my reoccurring bouts of depression. I studied traditional European and ecclesiastical embroidery at school, trained in theatre wardrobe, (costume making) and as a dressmakers daughter I’ve worked with textiles long before I ever picked up a hammer and chisel. So during my years of...

As a maker and artist, I seek an aesthetic of fragility in my work. Through conscious use of pliable, ephemeral materials, I make three-dimensional objects that appear to be fragile and impermanent, however, strong enough to support their own weight. Through abstract form and restrictive mark-making, using machine stitch, I fabricate...

Anthropological curiosities, social history, personal identity and the relationship between fact and fantasy are predominant themes in my practice. Initially I acquired traditional sculpting techniques, increasingly I aim for the illusion of these as my work becomes ever more conceptual. I am interested in taking things from one context (time or...

The journey as a physical experience is the main focus for my work. I look to the relationship between the geography, mapping of movement and the recorded experience of a place. We travel through desire or necessity, and the expectations and preconceptions that we hold of our destinations are explored in my work.My pieces take their inspiration...

Concepts Your culture hates you. No, really it does. There are so many ways that the culture we collude with, works against our best interests. You can see it in the various artifices and self-mutilations we employ to reinforce our visible femininity, masculinity or youthfulness, but it could also be seen in the unattainable and...

Artist statement 'Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have consistently objectified all this in the visual, spiritual and cultural triggers which have for years forced the internal lyrical motives that impelled me to create. This is the most sincere...

I have designed a collection of garments that change over time. There are four main concepts that feed the process that I used to develop my ideas. They are that clothes can communicate on several levels, that time and change are the essence of fashion, that time and change are essentially narrative, and that the basis for a meaningful collection...
