I make small scale, finely woven tapestries.
Lately my work has become almost completely abstract. I work with colour and the simplest of shapes: stripes, bands of colour, circles and dots. Shapes, form, colour which for me can represent big ideas, simple truths - the passage of time, the cyclical, circular nature of things.
Like so many makers, I work listening to Radio 4. It is a comforting presence which paradoxically helps me to focus, to get into and maintain a rhythm. Working with coloured threads is always a pleasure, placing colours side by side, seeing the taut fabric grow slowly.
I graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in the late 80’s and since then have exhibited widely in the UK including Art Textiles #1, The British Tapestry Triennial, Chelsea Crafts Fair and Origin. My most recent exhibition was Brighton Craft Fair in November 2007.
