Photography, mark-making and collage are very important to me - but I am most passionate about tapestry. Feeling able to express my ideas through all these methods, I decided to try and combine them. The resulting work is hybrid in nature – art that is a fusion of many elements. Working in this very experimental way means I am not merely keeping a traditional craft alive - instead I hope I am helping to move tapestry forward. My current work explores the interaction of the man-made and the natural in our environment. Investigating how sometimes it is hard to separate the two and considering whether rubbish discarded in the environment can actually be considered aesthetically pleasing. The materials used reflect this theme – combining natural things like wool, raffia and linen with man-made things such as plastic netting, carrier bags and recycled tissue paper. Holding the belief that everything around is a potential yarn - my materials are by no means traditional. |
