TO ALL THOSE WITH WINGS

Dreams give our minds wings to escape limitations

‘rising above’ much like birds soar above the ground,

Wings represent hope ,faith, angels, free spirits, freedom.

And a connection to something greater.

Still

I always start with two inks on calico and love the simplicity and flexibility of
the material. A restrained hand allows me some control to achieve areas of
subtle and dramatic contrast. I sit with the work to understand how my
minimal mark making with the needle and thread can work to create the space
and compositional balance. While overriding my meticulous perfectionism I try
to embrace what happens in the moment, working to follow my intuition and
create gentle interventions on the inked fabric.
These works are produced in moments of stillness while reflecting on
significant questions around life, the wider world and our place in it. Our
decisions around creating a long view for our land and people and finding
decision makers who can protect our environment provide continual
pondering. These quiet thoughts and emotions continue to live in the cloth
after the needle has finished.
