RESEACHER/WRITER/CREATIVE

"The very tactile quality of an object created by the human hand inspires me …its imperfections and its intimacy. I am especially passionate about textiles and textures ..objects that are created over time by nature and by the human hand …objects shaped in metal, clay, wood, stone and fibres, or earth formed and crafted over the ages."

“I am drawn strongly to meaningful moments … to slow hand stitching, weaving, folding, beading, moulding, shaping, coiling and painting. Each speaks to me of mindfulness, contemplation, narration, joy, simplicity and contentment.’’
