I
like to use discarded items, waste
material no longer considered useful.
My work is informed by personal
experience, places visited, stories
of my grandmother, old and forgotten
textiles. Waste paper and fabrics
are assembled and worked using a
combination of textile and paper
based techniques. I layer images;
photos, drawings, text and fabric
using glue transfer methods. These
can be torn and scraped to reveal
layers underneath. Stitch is necessary
to hold the works together but also
add colour or a line, like drawing.
