Held in Motion
This collection, shown with The Dot Project, includes fabric collages, small tapestries, woven ceramics and a tile mural. Inspired by nature and drawings of ancient woodlands and rock formations, the works explore space, colour and texture. Ceramic weavings magnify soft gestures in clay, with looping threads and delicate, glazed strands.
The Dot Project Collection
A collection of weavings, works on paper and fabric collages, represented by the Dot Project exploring thoughts and feelings through relationships of colour and shape.
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.
