Artist, mother, printmaker, daughter, filmmaker, sister, textile artist, wife, dyslexic and alive.
The artworks explore the conflicting roles of adult responsibility and the time and space to develop a creative art practice.The rituals of daily life the patterns and quotidian ebbs and flow become part of the process. The printing studio the rhythmic pass of the plate and paper through the printing press, the repetition of the process create a space outside of the home yet become a miss em abyme of the domestic tasks.
Threads: a very thin fibre, a theme running throughout an idea or piece of work, a continuous raised line.
Weaving: action of forming an object by twisting long pieces of something together.
The homogeneous and heterogeneous experiences of time—how these two elements weave together throughout our lifetime. Different threads of our lives combine and interweave; the thread of daily living merges with the space of the studio and extends outward again. These breaks and connections all become one lifetime, documented in the objects and marks created in space—reflections within reflections.
A forgotten box of photographs in the corner of a loft battered with the patina of time. An accumulation of a life’s images. A grandmother, mother, daughter and granddaughter.They belong to me but they are not mine.Our connections to the past what is held onto and what is lost.
