Although my early training was in fine art as a graphical artist, I have been working in textiles since the early eighties. Collage has always been a part of my work having collected pieces of fabric and threads and enjoyed improvising something from nothing and transforming it into something new. These are used together with textile techniques in combination with paper making, drawing with threads and collage. I stitch areas both hand and machine following the same formal concerns as one would in painting or graphic e.g. sharp texture, colour, shades. I usually have an idea or a drawing of what I want but playing with the material is a major part of my work. I also use paints and dyes and manufacture pieces if necessary.
