Statement...
There are figurative and abstract elements to my
work, which re-present emotionallycharged
atmospheres and recollections within the family.
I strive to convey emotions triggered by memories
In a response to motherhood, I have delighted in
the simple and enviable beauty of a child's confident
drawings.
I reflect on a house; a place of birth and death,and
the subtle and intimate traces of life within it, a
reflection on the transience of being and our right
of passage.
Aspects of my Welsh identity and the use of the Welsh
language within my family, are also considered.
Working directly; letting it grow and develop
intuitively and spontaneously, I use machine
stitch, achieving subtle variations in colour and
tone in a free and expressive way, aiming to
express the speed and gesture of a mark.
The diverse qualities of mark making produced by
painting, writing and drawing are considered in
stitch.
