‘Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes 1’ & ‘Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes 2’
I employ a variety of mediums and materials such as paint, wire, fiber and threads to express a range of emotional states. In using threads, their delicacy requires focus and attention. The drawing process becomes meditative. There is also an element of reparation when stitching; it displays an attempt to mend something that has been broken or damaged
I am inspired by my natural surroundings and life experiences. My body of work upsets the hierarchies of fine art and craft through the use of embroidery and weaving in a fine art setting. My recent work is influenced by the natural weaving and delicacy of the spiders’ web. I use thread as a drawing material and sewing as my principal drawing method. The spiders’ web functions as a place of retreat, reflecting the introspective process in which I make my work.
