Painting - Sculpture - Textile Art
|
|
My work illustrates a passion for experimentation within a variety of media. I explore expressive methods of exploiting often rich, colourful and subtle nuances of form, light, shadow, colour and texture.
I will frequently combine intensely personal abstract colour work using luminescent pigments and patination within oil and inks on canvas, paper, and silk, fibres, wood and metal.

My present work reflects my interest in ethnographical textiles, mirror work, fabric manipulation, embroidery and felting. I use these to build highly textured and collaged work. Likewise I combine tapestry weaving, braiding and other constructed textile techniques to produce highly individual and decorative wall hangings. As a trained teacher I run workshops and courses in tapestry weaving and hand embroidery.

Textile Art
|
|
I am a textile artist working mainly, but not exclusively, in felt. Where possible I like to use locally sourced wool and buy direct from the farmer. My inspiration is drawn from the natural world, I am particularly interested in organic shape, interpreting the form through sculptural felt combining wool and found objects.
In contrast to sculptural felt I enjoy the delicate nature of Nuno felt, combining natural fabric and wool.

I produce vibrant, stimulating pieces of felt, using a variety of techniques to make extraordinary textured surfaces. Natural fibres dominate but many other materials are integrated to create the desired visual effect. Felt is a flexible and fascinating material and I am constantly testing the boundaries.
