Bio

I live in Bristol in the UK and I am inspired by the complex emotional social and physical world we live in – humans, animals, plants. I am interested in the complex interconnectedness of it all. I love mediums that are soft and expressive – biro, soft pastel, collage, textiles. I love to combine and build up textures and imagery to create something complex and combinatory. I make my work for any human being who is open to it. I hope my work will be helpful for people looking for ways to be present with their emotional experience as a human being in a messy, complex, often emotionally damaged society, built environment and natural world.

Artist Statement 

I’m currently working on a small diamond shaped piece of fabric, which I am embroidering in an intuitive unconscious way and am thinking of combining in some way with future pieces, like piecing together a story. The imagery that has come to me through this piece includes caterpillars, undergrowth, darkness, silken web-like secretions, and a magical circus tent!

Why MW is important

 Participating in the Communication Cards project was important for me as these cards help me to really validate my needs and feel confident expressing them to loved ones – which is a surprisingly hard thing to do due to the way our society teaches us to hide our needs.
