Statement...
Works in Stitch consider characteristics of mark-
making produced by writing and drawing in both
hand and machine stitch. I am interested in the
traces and the details in marks left behind in
our everyday lives. Sculptural works contain a
multilayered narrative of three dimensional
construction enabling the reassembling and
reinventing of nails, wire, tacks, cloth and
thread; materials from my upbringing and sense
of place; unexceptional items that might otherwise
have been discarded and overlooked, re-stimulating
the use of hand stitch and creating sculptures of
dark beauty.
