My childhood surroundings inform my work through the merging of memories of both the land and sea. Materials sit at the core of my creative practice. I love using clay, fabric, weave and stitch in combination to create large abstract lumpy bumpy objects. I am interested in sustainability and what happens to my art objects after they have fulfilled their purpose. I opt to use materials that either have an endless life cycle, like clay which can be reclaimed or fabric which can be repurposed and reused.
