• notes from the artist •

Whether the final object is arrived at by concept or by material, I enjoy combining many various techniques and media.  My main experiences are with fibre and ceramics, and I tend to oscillate between the two.  I am sometimes able to find a harmonious marriage of these media and sometimes not; thus, the interplay continues to intrigue me.  In my non-abstract work, there are often touches of the macabre, but I always hope to retain a certain sense of play, or perhaps, safety in the ‘hypothetical.’
