Origami Landscape I (Detail) Cotton, nylon thread 50 x 50cm
Artist statement:
My work falls into two categories – drawing and textiles, each fuelling the other. Primarily, I am concerned with mark making and the structure of textiles; the way in which repeating marks can evoke a memory of a surface, either man-made or natural. My drawings explore this more figuratively whilst, in my textiles, marks are pared down, reminding one of a sense of landscape or plant forms.
As a teacher of Fine Art textiles and Drawing for the past seventeen years, I have been enabled to experience the progression of an idea and the consequent effects of this on both the work of the pupil and the teacher. This keeps the work of both exciting and fresh.
