ARTISTS STATEMENT
I am a Bristol based artist working in a wide variety of
media. A curiosity in the natural world, social and medical
history, and the way people in which people connect with
each other is at the heart of much of my work.
I am also fascinated with the inter-connectedness of the
world around us.
My interest in medical history shows in my work ‘1918’.
I looked at the impact of the Spanish Flu Pandemic on
the men returning from the First World.
‘Knitted Genes’ is an installation of dolls that has
brought together hundreds of diverse people . It is
accessible and inclusive crossing barriers of age and
gender. I hope that his will reach more audiences in
the future.
I often work with mixed media including textiles. I have
discovered that textile holds a power to connect with
the viewer because it works with several senses and
provokes memory. I also use book art, drawing and
whatever medium enhances the subject matter I am
working with.
