braving new technology

 ...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.
