Traditional techniques, processes and experimentation are at the core of my practice coupled with ecological concerns.  Nature and environment are a continual inspiration which informs projects and collections. 
 
‘Lifeloom’ is a term I use to describe the narrative quality of my work producing artworks in paper, wool coupled with found and discarded objects. ‘Lifeloom’ represents locally sourced, re-cycled & re-purposed materials created in the mediums of Artist Books and Limited Edition Fine Art Prints weaving layers of image, process and story bound with inheritance skills and 1940’s utility ethos.
 
BELONG was initially a paper based  collection continuing with the Cherish project; which focuses my belief in cherishing our immediate and wider environment. I was recently very stirred by a visit to Staffordshire Arboretum Memorial, specifically the newly installed WWI Trench.  My grandfather fought this war, so once again I pay homage to him and all those who experience a personal war.

 ...good to be back after mysteriously being locked out of my own blog... I have been reflecting upon themes and techniques which have been at my core prior to and at the outset of art college adventures, which reduce down to organic form, traditional  techniques and exploring processes. New work embraces re-examining northern textile industrial heritage set within the Pennine regions of Yorkshire and Lancashire .  Within this, is how the changing face of industry has impaired our familiar visual reference. MY response is to pay homage to L.S. Lowry's imagined Lancashire urban landscapes- which are inherent  with my own Lancashire heritage , and create my own re-imagined urban and rural landscape.  Fine art print and textile techniques such as hand felted fleece, new and vintage cloths are layered with textile techniques and process using stitch to draw together a commonality within textile narratives.
