Artist Statement
I’m a printmaker, sculptor and creator of artist books and textiles. Recently I’ve taken an interest in recycled electronic waste and commercial packaging. Often my work is inspired by relationships, community events, found materials, seascapes and/or landscapes. The patterns of landscape, seascape and geographical features influence my work. I like collections of objects, boxes and colour. I also create very small pen drawings. My bus top books continue to grow with simple line drawings recording my various surroundings or waiting times.
