I am intrigued by a line continuing like a path with no end, falling into the horizon or falling off the earth. I enjoy vibrancy of colours, how they move when woven together creating a life with yarns and threads. With this medium my work jumps from paper to textile.
Inspired by the space within the natural world around me I use colour and shape to explain the stillness and absences in life which are almost tangible.What begins as paper and paint is then woven onto my scaffold loom. This slow and tactile process calms me and fills me with a sense of wellness.
