These paintings in textile which I have been making for several years, encapsulate my enduring love not just for art, but for textile design and craftmanship.

In a slow, meditative process in the studio, layer upon layer of fabrics -some precious, some salvage- are placed on top of one another to create fields of colour; they are then sewn into rows, or other geometric forms and subsequently cut with a surgeon’s scalpel and subjected to a washing process which draws out the colours and textures from underneath. The results can be surprising, unpredictable.

The most recent works have paintings incorporated.
