Vibrations
‘Vibrations’ showcases a new collection of weavings, represented by the Dot Project with And Objects. The works are inspired by silent meditation, where thoughts fade away, and the self is felt as tingling, fizzing, and popping sensations, expressed through vibrating fields of colour. The works often inadvertently reflect deep memories and gentle observations, such as of rippling water and rock formations. Some of the small weavings were made on an artist residency sailing in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland, with Sail Britain and the Wilderness Art Collective. They incorporate colours and textures from the coastline.
Living Threads
This new collection of works, represented by the Dot Project, explore the feelings of being interconnected with nature. Slowly observing the evolving patterns and rhythms of both the environment and the human body. Heightened through a recent personal experience of perceiving the body as a field of vibrations during period of silent meditation.
Woven paintings
Weaving is a meditative process, like taking a walk with threads, there’s no predetermined plan. The woven paintings build incrementally, accidents redirect the pattern. Mixing many fine yarns to create soft transitions, like translucent watercolours. The fragmented forms revealed through this process, unintentionally reflect tender past observations of rippling water, bark and stones.
Wet rocks
This body of work was made was made in Studio 5, Porthmeor Studios. The paintings and weavings are infused with the sensations of exploring the coastline of St Ives, Cornwall. The large hanging paintings are made from cotton bedsheets, cut into pieces and fixed back together with handmade fabric tape. They are transformed by a process of fragmentation and reparation. The small weavings build gradually, day by day, subconsciously reflecting the ever changing colours, textures and movement of the sea, sand and rockpools.
Translucencies
These new translucency paintings explore softly overlapping organic forms, originally inspired by coastal rock pools. They are made by breaking a sheet of paper apart, painting the pieces and then bringing it back together, like an incricate puzzle.
Beyond Boundaries
A series of weavings and works on paper made during a residency with Visual Arts Scotland and Marchmont House sailing around the Inner Hebrides, Scotland. Taking inspiration from the mosses, heathers, remote islands and movement of the boat.
The Dot Project Collection
Life Remade is a series of paintings exploring thoughts and feelings through relationships of colour and shape. The compositions emerge through spontaneous action. Breaking a sheet of paper apart, painting each piece, and putting it back together. Focusing on the boundaries between interlocking shapes, directing emphasis on the way the pieces meet and touch. With ripped edges and intricate fixings barely visible beneath the surface.
